| A quick list of rules for committing stuff into netfilter svn: |
| |
| - Always include the Name of the Author/Contributor in the SVN comment |
| like 'fix for foo (Au Thor)' |
| |
| - make sure that you have set the executable bits on an 'extensions/.*-test' |
| script before adding/committing it to SVN |
| |
| - If the commit fixes a bugzilla bug, please include '(Closes: #bugnr)' in |
| the commit message |
| |
| - Make sure you don't commit to svn while a feature freeze is announced |
| |
| - For new extensions, there are two possible cases: |
| 1) header files are just in patch-o-matic patch, you need an |
| 'extensions/.*-test' script to have a conditional build |
| 2) header files are in patch-o-matic patch, and copied to |
| 'netfilter/include/linux/netfilter_xxx'. This way the extension |
| can be built _unconditionally_, and thus be included in |
| 'extensions/Makefile'. Make sure to keep the headers in sync! |
| |
| Usually '1)' is used, but in case something is expected to show up in the |
| kernel soon, we should already make userspace support unconditionally. |
