License of contributions

build-recorder is licensed under the terms of GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later (LGPL-2.1-or-later). By contributing to the project, you agree to the license and copyright terms of this license and release your contribution under these terms.

Sign your contribution

Please use the sign-off line in your patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):

Developer Certificate of Origin

Version 1.1

Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
660 York Street, Suite 102,
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA


Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
	have the right to submit it under the open source license
	indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
	of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
	license and I have the right under that license to submit that
	work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
	by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
	permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
	in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
	person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
	it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
	are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
	personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
	maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
	this project or the open source license(s) involved.

Then you just add a line to every git commit message:

Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)

Hint: If you set your user.name and user.email git configs, you can sign your commit automatically with git commit -s.

How to contribute

Good Pull Requests (which contain patches, improvements, or new features) are always welcome!

Please ask first before embarking on any Pull Request, otherwise you risk spending time working on something that might not be merged into the project.

In general, every Pull Request should have one or more associated Issues with it. The Issue present the problem and are used to discuss solutions; Pull Requests contain code and are used to discuss the implementation.

Please adhere to the coding conventions used (name, indentation, etc.). You can use the indent(1) settings in the repository to automatically format your code.

Pull Requests should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.
