*** Submitting Patches
1. Before submitting patches, please make sure that you are starting
your work on the *current HEAD* of the git repository.
2. Please checkout the ~CODING_STYLE.org~ file for guidelines on how to
properly format your code.
3. Describe your changes. Each patch will be reviewed, and the reviewers
need to understand why you did what you did.
4. *Sign-Off* each commit, so the changes can be properly attributed to
you and you explicitely give your agreement for distribution under
linuxptp's license. Signing-off is as simple as:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
git commit -s
#+END_EXAMPLE
or by adding the following line (replace your real name and email)
to your patch:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
#+END_EXAMPLE
5. Finally, send your patches via email to the linuxptp-devel mailing
list, where they will be reviewed, and eventually be included in the
official code base.
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
git send-email --to linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net origin/master
#+END_EXAMPLE
