EDITING: HACKING

CODING STYLE
============

- Please follow the coding style already used (which is close to the
   GNU style) - if adding new files please include the following mode
   line for emacs and other editors:

-*- mode: C; c-file-style: "gnu"; indent-tabs-mode: nil; -*-

- Spaces, not tabs, are used.

- All external interfaces (network protocols, file formats, etc.)
   should be documented in man pages or other documentation.

SOURCE CONTROL
==============

Anonymous checkouts:

$ git clone git@github.com:storaged-project/udisks.git

MAKING RELEASES
===============

Checklist for making a release:

- Pull translations from Zatana ("zanata-cli pull")
   - Remember to add new po/*.po files and update po/LINGUAS
   - Make sure that you pushed the POT file a couple of weeks before
     this and that no new strings has been added

- Update the NEWS file

- Update the AUTHORS file if we have any new authors since last release.  The
   git command `git shortlog -se` helps.

- Check that everything works
   - Run 'make check' and 'make ci'
   - Check that you have no uncommitted or unpushed changes
   - Check there are no glaring TODO or FIXME
   - Sanity-check all new API
   - Ensure newly added API is marked properly with "Since: X.Y"
   - Ensure that deprecated API is marked as such

- Tag the release: git tag udisks-X.Y.Z

- Post-release actions:
   - Bump the version in configure.in and packaging/udisks2.spec
   - Prepare NEWS file - append " (unreleased)" to version number
     - Commit message: Post-release version bump to X.Y.Z

- Upload new documentation to storaged.org website
   - https://github.com/storaged-project/storaged-project.github.io
   - Create new folder X.Y.Z in "doc/udisks2-api/" and update the "latest" symlink
   - Add link to the new version to "doc/udisks2-api/index.html"

When doing the first micro release in a new minor series (for example
starting the 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0 etc. series), do the following

- Update the date in man pages to "$MONTH $YEAR" e.g. "October 2012"

- At some point after the release, create the udisks-X-Y branch
   - Perform the post-release actions above on the created branch
   - This is for maintenance releases
   - Do this when focus is on new feature development
   - Then bump version on master to X.Y.90 (prereleases for X.Y+1.0)
   - Add "Index of new symbols in X.Y+1" index to doc/udisks2-docs.xml

For maintenance releases, the rules are simple

- Work on the udisks-X-Y branch
 - If possible, cherry-pick fixes from master ('git cherry-pick')
 - Do not add (or backport) any new API or features
 - Do not add, remove or change any translatable strings
 - Do not add new dependencies

TRANSLATIONS
============

- Don't use VPATH build (To be fixed)

- Push new strings for translation to Zanata:
  - Run 'make -C po udisks2.pot' to extract translatable strings
  - Run 'zanata-cli push' to submit the template

- Pull translations from Zanata:
  - Run 'zanata-cli pull'

- Commit those changes in po/

COMMITTING CODE
===============

- Commit messages should be of the form (the five lines between the
   lines starting with ===)

=== begin example commit ===
Short explanation of the commit

Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any
external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug
tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too brief.
=== end example commit ===

- Always add a brief description of the commit to the _first_ line of
   the commit and terminate by two newlines (it will work without the
   second newline, but that is not nice for the interfaces).

- First line (the brief description) must only be one sentence and
   must start with a capital letter. Don't use a trailing period.

- The main description (the body) is normal prose and should use normal
   punctuation and capital letters where appropriate. Normally, for patches
   sent to a mailing list it's copied from there.

- When committing code on behalf of others use the --author option, e.g.
   git commit -a --author "Joe Coder <joe@coder.org>"
