1 A quick list of rules for committing stuff into netfilter svn: 2 3 - Always include the Name of the Author/Contributor in the SVN comment 4 like 'fix for foo (Au Thor)' 5 6 - make sure that you have set the executable bits on an 'extensions/.*-test' 7 script before adding/committing it to SVN 8 9 - If the commit fixes a bugzilla bug, please include '(Closes: #bugnr)' in 10 the commit message 11 12 - Make sure you don't commit to svn while a feature freeze is announced 13 14 - For new extensions, there are two possible cases: 15 1) header files are just in patch-o-matic patch, you need an 16 'extensions/.*-test' script to have a conditional build 17 2) header files are in patch-o-matic patch, and copied to 18 'netfilter/include/linux/netfilter_xxx'. This way the extension 19 can be built _unconditionally_, and thus be included in 20 'extensions/Makefile'. Make sure to keep the headers in sync! 21 22 Usually '1)' is used, but in case something is expected to show up in the 23 kernel soon, we should already make userspace support unconditionally. 24 25
