|
|
|
So you want to contribute to imag! Thank you, that's awesome of you!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you already have something in mind, go ahead with [the prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
section](#prerequisites). If you don't know what you could do, start here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Finding an issue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finding an issue is simple: We have
|
|
|
|
|
[a special label in our issues section](https://github.com/matthiasbeyer/imag/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Acomplexity%2Feasy)
|
|
|
|
|
for easy-to-solve issues. You can start there, don't hesitate to ask questions
|
|
|
|
|
if you do not understand the issue comment!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, if you found bugs or outdated stuff in our documentation, feel free to
|
|
|
|
|
file issues about them or even better: Write a pull request to fix them!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
2016-01-17 18:34:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* cargo and rust compiler in current version (stable)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-10 12:42:16 +00:00
|
|
|
That's it so far, you don't need no additional dependencies. Note that this
|
|
|
|
|
software is targeted towards commandline linux users and we do not aim to be
|
|
|
|
|
portable to Windows or Mac OSX (though I wouldn't mind merging patches for OS X
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If you want to build the documentation (you don't have to)
|
|
|
|
|
* pandoc
|
|
|
|
|
* pandoc-citeproc
|
|
|
|
|
* texlive
|
|
|
|
|
* lmodern (font package)
|
|
|
|
|
* make

All dependencies are installable with the nix package manager by using a
|
|
|
|
|
`nix-shell`, if you have the nix package manager installed on your system.

## Commit guidelines
|
2016-01-17 18:34:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please don't refer to issues or PRs from inside a commit message, if possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure your PR does not contain "Fixup" commits when publishing it, but feel
|
|
|
|
|
free to push "Fixup" commits in the review process. We will ask you to clean
|
|
|
|
|
your history before merging!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure to prefix your commits with `"doc: "` if you change the document. Do
|
|
|
|
|
not change document and code in one commit, always seperate them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-10 12:42:16 +00:00
|
|
|
We do not follow some official rust styleguide for our codebase, but we try to
|
|
|
|
|
write minimal and readable code. 100 characters per line, as few lines as
|
|
|
|
|
possible, avoid noise in the codebase, ... you get it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not all of your commits have to be buildable. But your PR has to be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## PR guidelines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'd like to have one PR per module change. This means you _should_ only change
|
|
|
|
|
one imag module in one commit (library plus belonging binary is okay). As this
|
|
|
|
|
is not always possible, we do not enforce this, though we might ask you to split
|
|
|
|
|
your PR into two smaller ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use feature branches. If you could name them "<module name>/<what you do>",
|
|
|
|
|
for example "libimagstore/add-debugging-calls", that would be awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are welcome to publish your PR as soon as there is one commit in your
|
|
|
|
|
branch. This gives us the possibility to review whether your ideas go into a
|
|
|
|
|
nice direction or whether there are issues with your approach and we can report
|
|
|
|
|
them to you rather quickly. Rewriting a whole PR is not satisfactory and we'd
|
|
|
|
|
like to make your contribution process enjoyable.

# Merging tools which use the imag core functionality into this repo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're writing an application or module for imag, feel free to propose
|
|
|
|
|
integrating it into the imag core distribution, if it fulfills the following
|
|
|
|
|
requirements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. It is written in Rust
|
2016-04-10 12:42:16 +00:00
|
|
|
1. It has a commandline interface which is the main interface to the module
|
|
|
|
|
OR it is a utility library for creating new kinds of functionality within the
|
|
|
|
|
imag core.
|
|
|
|
|
1. It is licensed under the terms of GNU LGPLv2.1 OR all of your contributors
|
|
|
|
|
approve a commit which changes the license of your codebase to GNU LGPLv2.1
|
|
|
|
|
(The word "approve" in this sentence is to be defined).
|
2016-03-08 14:43:08 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(If your tool does not fulfill these requirements, I won't merge it into the
|
|
|
|
|
imag core distribution.)

## Code of Conduct
|
2016-01-17 18:34:48 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We use the same
|
|
|
|
|
[code of conduct as the rust community does](https://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-10 12:42:16 +00:00
|
|
|
Basically: Be kind, encourage others to ask questions - you are encouraged to
|
|
|
|
|
ask questions as well!

## More information about the structure of this project

|
|

Here goes some notes on how this project is structured.

### Issue- and PR-Labels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our labels are color coded as well as "namespaced". The color groups labels
|
|
|
|
|
exactly as the prefix does. The prefix is the first component which is seperated
|
|
|
|
|
from the others by `"/`". See below:
