# Sending Patches
|
|
|
|
MiSoC does **not** use GitHub pull requests. Instead you must send patches to
|
|
the public mailing list <devel@lists.m-labs.hk>.
|
|
|
|
Before sending patches, please read the rest of this guide and make sure your
|
|
patch meets the following criteria;
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Meets style guide requirements listed below.
|
|
- [ ] Includes a suitable commit message.
|
|
|
|
Sending mail to the mailing list can be done via the `git send-email` tool.
|
|
The `git send-email` tool is not included by default on many Linux
|
|
distributions, on Ubuntu / Debian systems you may need to install the
|
|
`git-email` package. Documentation on using this tool can be found at
|
|
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email
|
|
|
|
To send patches to the mailing list you must first be subscribed to the list.
|
|
You can subscribe at https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/devel
|
|
|
|
An example session would be;
|
|
```
|
|
# Set up [sendemail] as described at http://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email in
|
|
# the EXAMPLE section.
|
|
|
|
# Download, make changes to misoc and commit them
|
|
git clone https://github.com/m-labs/misoc
|
|
cd misoc
|
|
edit xxx.py
|
|
git commit -a
|
|
|
|
# Send patch to mailing list
|
|
# --------------------------
|
|
# 1) Remove any previous outgoing patch
|
|
rm -rf outgoing
|
|
|
|
# 2) Put the patches to be sent into the outgoing directory
|
|
git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
|
|
|
|
# 3) Edit the cover letter with information about the patch
|
|
edit outgoing/0000-*
|
|
|
|
# 4) Actually send the email.
|
|
git send-email --to=devel@lists.m-labs.hk outgoing/*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Help
|
|
|
|
If your submission is large and complex and/or you are not sure how to proceed,
|
|
feel free to discuss it on the mailing list or IRC (#m-labs on Freenode)
|
|
beforehand.
|
|
|
|
# Style Guide
|
|
|
|
All code should be compliant with the
|
|
[PEP8 style guide](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/).
|
|
|
|
You can use the [pep8 tool](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) to check
|
|
compliance with `pep8 myfile.py`
|
|
|
|
When modifying existing code **be consistent** with any existing code style.
