Contributing to this project ---------------------------- This project accepts contributions. In order to contribute, you should pay attention to a few things: 1 - your code must follow the coding style rules 2 - the format of the submission must be email patches 3 - your work must be signed Coding Style: ------------- The coding style follows the Linux kernel coding style. The coding style is defined in the 'CodingStyle' file, available in the directory 'Documentation' of the Linux kernel source tree. It can be accessed online too: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.27/Documentation/CodingStyle Submitting Modifications: ------------------------- The contributions should be email patches. The guidelines are the same as the patch submission for the Linux kernel except for the DCO which is defined below. The guidelines are defined in the 'SubmittingPatches' file, available in the directory 'Documentation' of the Linux kernel source tree. It can be accessed online too: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.27/Documentation/SubmittingPatches You can submit your patches to the lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list. Use https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel to subscribe to the list. Developer Certificate of Origin: -------------------------------- To improve tracking of contributions to this project we will use a process modeled on the modified DCO 1.1 and use a "sign-off" procedure on patches that are being emailed around or contributed in any other way. The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below: By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source License and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. (d) The contribution is made free of any other party's intellectual property claims or rights. (e) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. then you just add a line saying Signed-off-by: Random J Developer using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
