// This file is part of the Doxygen Developer Manual /** @page patchguide Patch Guidelines Please mail patches to: @par openocd-development@lists.berlios.de Note that you can't send patches to that list unless you're a member, despite what the list info page says. @section Patch Guidelines in a Nutshell Your patches should be against git mainline. Submit output of "git diff"; equivalently, quilt patches are OK. It should be a "good patch": focus it on a single issue, and make it be easily reviewable. Don't make it so large that it's hard to review; split large patches into smaller ones. (That can also help track down bugs later on.) All patches should be "clean", which includes preserving the existing coding style and updating documentation as needed.j Attach the patch to the email as a .txt file and also write a short change log entry that maintainers can copy and paste into the commit message Say if it's a bugfix (describe the bug) or a new feature. Don't expect patches to merge immediately for the next release. Be ready to rework patches in response to feedback. Add yourself to the GPL copyright for non-trivial changes.
