HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
(Please visit https://www.openssl.org/community/getting-started.html for
|
|
other ideas about how to contribute.)
|
|
|
|
Development is done on GitHub, https://github.com/openssl/openssl.
|
|
|
|
To request new features or report bugs, please open an issue on GitHub
|
|
|
|
To submit a patch, please open a pull request on GitHub. If you are thinking
|
|
of making a large contribution, open an issue for it before starting work,
|
|
to get comments from the community. Someone may be already working on
|
|
the same thing or there may be reasons why that feature isn't implemented.
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to review and accept your pull request, please follow these
|
|
guidelines:
|
|
|
|
1. Anything other than a trivial contribution requires a Contributor
|
|
License Agreement (CLA), giving us permission to use your code. See
|
|
https://www.openssl.org/policies/cla.html for details. If your
|
|
contribution is too small to require a CLA, put "CLA: trivial" on a
|
|
line by itself in your commit message body.
|
|
|
|
2. All source files should start with the following text (with
|
|
appropriate comment characters at the start of each line and the
|
|
year(s) updated):
|
|
|
|
Copyright 20xx-20yy The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
|
|
|
|
Licensed under the OpenSSL license (the "License"). You may not use
|
|
this file except in compliance with the License. You can obtain a copy
|
|
in the file LICENSE in the source distribution or at
|
|
https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html
|
|
|
|
3. Patches should be as current as possible; expect to have to rebase
|
|
often. We do not accept merge commits, you will have to remove them
|
|
(usually by rebasing) before it will be acceptable.
|
|
|
|
4. Patches should follow our coding style (see
|
|
https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html) and compile
|
|
without warnings. Where gcc or clang is available you should use the
|
|
--strict-warnings Configure option. OpenSSL compiles on many varied
|
|
platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features. Clean builds
|
|
via Travis and AppVeyor are required, and they are started automatically
|
|
whenever a PR is created or updated.
|
|
|
|
5. When at all possible, patches should include tests. These can
|
|
either be added to an existing test, or completely new. Please see
|
|
test/README for information on the test framework.
|
|
|
|
6. New features or changed functionality must include
|
|
documentation. Please look at the "pod" files in doc for
|
|
examples of our style.
