- * Contributing
-
- See the manual for useful hacking informations, either by running
-
- info -f doc/guix.info "(guix) Contributing"
-
- or by checking the [[http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Contributing][web copy of the manual]].
-
- * Commit Access
-
- For frequent contributors, having write access to the repository is
- convenient. When you deem it necessary, feel free to ask for it on the
- mailing list. When you get commit access, please make sure to follow the
- policy below (discussions of the policy can take place on guix-devel@gnu.org.)
-
- Non-trivial patches should always be posted to guix-devel@gnu.org (trivial
- patches include fixing typos, etc.)
-
- For patches that just add a new package, and a simple one, it’s OK to commit,
- if you’re confident (which means you successfully built it in a chroot setup,
- and have done a reasonable copyright and license auditing.) Likewise for
- package upgrades, except upgrades that trigger a lot of rebuilds (for example,
- upgrading GnuTLS or GLib.) We have a mailing list for commit notifications
- (guix-commits@gnu.org), so people can notice. Before pushing your changes,
- make sure to run ‘git pull --rebase’.
-
- For anything else, please post to guix-devel@gnu.org and leave time for a
- review, without committing anything. If you didn’t receive any reply
- after two weeks, and if you’re confident, it’s OK to commit.
-
- That last part is subject to being adjusted, allowing individuals to commit
- directly on non-controversial changes on parts they’re familiar with.
