Get in touch with us to share your ideas. +If you write papers we are happy to publish them here or link to your +page. If you are looking for the right topic or mentorship feel free to +contact us.

Don't hesitate to let us and +others know! We can avoid duplicated work by publishing it here or +linking to your page. Patches are always welcome and can be posted on +the :doc:`mailing list <MailingList>` to get integrated. We also hand out +git access to people that want to get involved. + +Submitting patches +------------------ + +If you intend to send us patches, please consider the following +guidelines: + +* Prefer small & digestible over long "all in one" patches. +* No MIME, no links, no compression, no attachments. Just plain text + (patches are to be sent inline). +* Patches sent to the mailing list should include "PATCH" in the + subject to make it easier to distinguish between patches and + discussions. +* The mail's subject will become the first line in the commit message. + The body contains the longer patch description and the patch (unified + format) itself. Please also specify the target branch (e.g. batctl, + batman-adv, etc) at the beginning of the subject line. +* Add a "Signed-off-by: Your Name you@example.com" line to the patch + message to make the ownership of the patch clear. +* Patches for B.A.T.M.A.N. Advanced need to follow the linux kernel + coding style closely (use checkpatch.pl to verify your patch) as well as + the linux "how to submit patches" guidelines (search for the term + SubmitPatches to find thorough documentation). +* Check it using static analysis tools like + `sparse https://sparse.wiki.kernel.org/`__ (cgcc) and + `cppcheck http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/`__ +* Patches against the batman-adv main branch must be formatted using + - :: ++ :: + + git format-patch $BASECOMMIT + ++ or an equivalent tool (like ``b4``) ++ +- README, manpage and sysfs-class-net-* must be updated together with + the related source change +- Add or update kerneldoc to functions and structures you add or + modify. +- batman-adv changes affecting batctl have to be send with the batctl + patches in the same patchset - - it is recommended to use `git send-email` to send the mails to the - mailinglist ++- it is recommended to use `b4 https://b4.docs.kernel.org/`__ to send the patch mails to the mailinglist - but plain ``git send-email`` is also fine. +- An exemplary good submission you may want to look at can be found + here: + https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/project/b.a.t.m.a.n./patch/1261051915-13960-... diff --cc open-mesh/MailingList.rst index 24783d58,00000000..47268237 mode 100644,000000..100644 --- a/open-mesh/MailingList.rst +++ b/open-mesh/MailingList.rst @@@ -1,18 -1,0 +1,20 @@@ +..
