Development
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Here are some pieces of information regarding development in Window Maker.
|
|
|
|
Source code versioning system
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The source code for Window Maker is contained in a [git](http://git-scm.com/)
|
|
repository located [here](http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git). To obtain a
|
|
full-fledged copy of the repository do this:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://repo.or.cz/wmaker-crm.git
|
|
|
|
There are two main branches in the repository, called 'master' and 'next'. The
|
|
purpose of the 'next' branch is to add and extra layer of testing before the
|
|
patches hit the 'master' branch. It is rebased when needed. The 'master' branch
|
|
should ideally never be rebased -- if it is, run to the nearest
|
|
anti-nuclear bunker.
|
|
|
|
Submitting patches
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The Window Maker source code follows the
|
|
[coding style of the linux kernel](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst).
|
|
Respect it when submitting patches.
|
|
|
|
If you are not familiar with git, take a look at the
|
|
[git homepage](http://git-scm.com/) -- it contains the kind of documentation you
|
|
need to get started. You should also read the file contained in the Window Maker
|
|
repository [The perfect Window Maker
|
|
patch](http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git/blob/HEAD:/The-perfect-Window-Maker-patch.txt)
|
|
which gives you further details about patches to Window Maker.
|
|
|
|
Patches not submitted according to the above guidelines will not be accepted.
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, patches doing code cleanups are **STRONGLY** encouraged.
|
|
|
|
Git repository for dockapps
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
There is also a [git repository](http://repo.or.cz/w/dockapps.git) containing a
|
|
few dockapps which apparently have no maintainers anymore. Patches for those
|
|
dockapps (or to include more apps) can also be sent to
|
|
<wmaker-dev@googlegroups.com>.
