Patch Submission Guidelines
We welcome patches to fix issues, problems, and deficiencies in Nebula. However, we prefer that some basic guidelines be followed to save everyone time and trouble and to allow us to get patches into the mainline sources as rapidly as possible:
- Once your patch is ready, submit it to the bug tracking system.
- Please include an explanation of the purpose of the patch in the bug report.
- The patch should be taken against current CVS and should be in forward form (rather than reversed).
- We prefer patches in unified diff format but will take context diffs as well.
- Please place all changes in a single patch file.
- Be sure to update any relevant documentation or add documentation if it is currently missing.
- If the patch is something major, involves significant time, or changes the way an existing feature works, please be sure to contact us first and discuss it to be sure that your time and effort will not be wasted.
- Follow the Coding Style Guidelines.
