List of maintainers and how to submit coreboot changes
|
|
|
|
Please try to follow the guidelines below. This will make things
|
|
easier on the maintainers. Not all of these guidelines matter for every
|
|
trivial patch so apply some common sense.
|
|
|
|
1. Always _test_ your changes, however small, on at least 1 or
|
|
2 people, preferably many more.
|
|
|
|
2. Try to release a few ALPHA test versions to gerrit. Announce
|
|
them onto the coreboot mailing list and IRC channel and await
|
|
results. This is especially important on coreboot core changes,
|
|
but also for device drivers, because often that's the only way
|
|
you will find things like the fact revision 3 chipset needs
|
|
a magic fix you didn't know about, or some clown changed the
|
|
chips on a board and not its name. (Don't laugh!)
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure your changes compile correctly in multiple
|
|
configurations. In particular check that changes work for all
|
|
boards in the tree (use abuild!)
|
|
|
|
4. When you are happy with a change make it generally available for
|
|
testing in gerrit and await feedback.
|
|
|
|
5. Make your patch available through coreboot's gerrit code review
|
|
system, and add the relevant maintainer from this list as a code
|
|
reviewer. Be prepared to get your changes sent back with seemingly
|
|
silly requests about formatting and variable names. These aren't
|
|
as silly as they seem. One job the maintainers do is to keep
|
|
things looking the same. Sometimes this means that the clever
|
|
hack in your mainboard or chipset to get around a problem actually
|
|
needs to become a generalized coreboot feature ready for next time.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE check your patch with the automated style checker
|
|
(util/lint/checkpatch.pl) to catch trival style violations.
|
|
See http://coreboot.org/Coding_Style for guidance here.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE add the maintainers that are generated by
|
|
util/scripts/get_maintainer.pl as reviewers. The results returned
|
|
by the script will be best if you have git installed and are
|
|
making your changes in a branch derived from coreboot.org's latest
|
|
git tree.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE try to include any credit lines you want added with the
|
|
patch. It avoids people being missed off by mistake and makes
|
|
it easier to know who wants adding and who doesn't.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE document known bugs. If it doesn't work for everything
|
|
or does something very odd once a month document it.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE remember that submissions must be made under the terms
|
|
of the OSDL certificate of contribution and should include a
|
|
Signed-off-by: line. The current version of this "Developer's
|
|
Certificate of Origin" (DCO) is listed at
|
|
http://coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure.
|
|
|
|
6. Make sure you have the right to send any changes you make. If you
|
|
do changes at work you may find your employer owns the patch
|
|
not you.
|
|
|
|
7. Happy hacking.

Descriptions of section entries:
|
|
|
|
M: Maintainer: FullName <address@domain>
|
|
R: Designated reviewer: FullName <address@domain>
|
|
These reviewers should be CCed on patches.
|
|
L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area
|
|
W: Web-page with status/info
|
|
Q: Patchwork web based patch tracking system site
|
|
T: SCM tree type and location.
|
|
Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit, topgit
|
|
S: Status, one of the following:
|
|
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this.
|
|
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it.
|
|
Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
|
|
much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
|
|
Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
|
|
role as you write your new code].
|
|
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
|
|
it has been replaced by a better system and you
|
|
should be using that.
|
|
F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
|
|
A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files.
|
|
F: drivers/net/ all files in and below drivers/net
|
|
F: drivers/net/* all files in drivers/net, but not below
|
|
F: */net/* all files in "any top level directory"/net
|
|
One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable.
|
|
N: Files and directories with regex patterns.
|
|
N: [^a-z]tegra all files whose path contains the word tegra
|
|
One pattern per line. Multiple N: lines acceptable.
|
|
scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
|
|
match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns. By default,
|
|
get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
|
|
match occurs. When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
|
|
to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.
|
|
X: Files and directories that are NOT maintained, same rules as F:
|
|
Files exclusions are tested before file matches.
|
|
Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance:
|
|
F: net/
|
|
X: net/ipv6/
|
|
matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/
|
|
K: Keyword perl extended regex pattern to match content in a
|
|
patch or file. For instance:
|
|
K: of_get_profile
|
|
matches patches or files that contain "of_get_profile"
|
|
K: \b(printk|pr_(info|err))\b
|
|
matches patches or files that contain one or more of the words
|
|
printk, pr_info or pr_err
|
|
One regex pattern per line. Multiple K: lines acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Note: For the hard of thinking, this list is meant to remain in alphabetical
|
|
order. If you could add yourselves to it in alphabetical order that would be
|
|
so much easier [Ed]
