CONTRIBUTING TO THE OPENVPN PROJECT
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Patches should be written against the Git "master" branch. Some patches may get
|
|
backported to a release branch.
|
|
|
|
The preferred procedure to send patches to the "openvpn-devel" mailing list:
|
|
|
|
- https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
|
|
|
|
While we do not merge GitHub pull requests as-is, we do allow their use for code
|
|
review purposes. After the patch has been ACKed (reviewed and accepted), it must
|
|
be sent to the mailing list. This last step does not necessarily need to be done
|
|
by the patch author, although that is definitely recommended.
|
|
|
|
When sending patches to "openvpn-devel" the subject line should be prefixed with
|
|
[PATCH]. To avoid merging issues the patches should be generated with
|
|
git-format-patch or sent using git-send-email. Try to split large patches into
|
|
small, atomic pieces to make reviews easier.
|
|
|
|
If you want quick feedback on a patch before sending it to openvpn-devel mailing
|
|
list, you can visit the #openvpn-devel channel on irc.libera.chat. Note that
|
|
you need to be logged in to Libera to join the channel:

|
Note that the process for contributing to other OpenVPN projects such as
|
|
openvpn-build, openvpn-gui, tap-windows6 and easy-rsa may differ from what was
|
|
described above. Please refer to the contribution instructions of each
|
|
respective project.
