HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Please visit our [Getting Started] page for other ideas about how to contribute.
|
|
|
|
[Getting Started]: <https://openssl-library.org/community/getting-started>
|
|
|
|
Development is done on GitHub in the [openssl/openssl] repository.
|
|
|
|
[openssl/openssl]: <https://github.com/openssl/openssl>
|
|
|
|
To request a new feature, ask a question, or report a bug,
|
|
please open an [issue on GitHub](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues).
|
|
|
|
To submit a patch or implement a new feature, please open a
|
|
[pull request on GitHub](https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pulls).
|
|
If you are thinking of making a large contribution,
|
|
open an issue for it before starting work, to get comments from the community.
|
|
Someone may be already working on the same thing,
|
|
or there may be special reasons why a feature is not implemented.
|
|
|
|
To make it easier to review and accept your pull request, please follow these
|
|
guidelines:
|
|
|
|
1. Anything other than a trivial contribution requires a [Contributor
|
|
License Agreement] (CLA), giving us permission to use your code.
|
|
If your contribution is too small to require a CLA (e.g., fixing a spelling
|
|
mistake), then place the text "`CLA: trivial`" on a line by itself below
|
|
the rest of your commit message separated by an empty line, like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
One-line summary of trivial change
|
|
|
|
Optional main body of commit message. It might contain a sentence
|
|
or two explaining the trivial change.
|
|
|
|
CLA: trivial
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is not sufficient to only place the text "`CLA: trivial`" in the GitHub
|
|
pull request description.
|
|
|
|
[Contributor License Agreement]: <https://www.openssl.org/policies/cla.html>
|
|
|
|
To amend a missing "`CLA: trivial`" line after submission, do the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git commit --amend
|
|
# add the line, save and quit the editor
|
|
git push -f [<repository> [<branch>]]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. All source files should start with the following text (with
|
|
appropriate comment characters at the start of each line and the
|
|
year(s) updated):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Copyright 20xx-20yy The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
|
|
|
|
Licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (the "License"). You may not use
|
|
this file except in compliance with the License. You can obtain a copy
|
|
in the file LICENSE in the source distribution or at
|
|
https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Patches should be as current as possible; expect to have to rebase
|
|
often. We do not accept merge commits, you will have to remove them
|
|
(usually by rebasing) before it will be acceptable.
|
|
|
|
4. Code provided should follow our [coding style] and [documentation policy]
|
|
and compile without warnings.
|
|
There is a [Perl tool](util/check-format.pl) that helps
|
|
finding code formatting mistakes and other coding style nits.
|
|
Where `gcc` or `clang` is available, you should use the
|
|
`--strict-warnings` `Configure` option. OpenSSL compiles on many varied
|
|
platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features.
|
|
Clean builds via GitHub Actions are required. They are started automatically
|
|
whenever a PR is created or updated by committers.
|
|
|
|
[coding style]: https://openssl-library.org/policies/technical/coding-style/
|
|
[documentation policy]: https://openssl-library.org/policies/technical/documentation-policy/
|
|
|
|
5. When at all possible, code contributions should include tests. These can
|
|
either be added to an existing test, or completely new. Please see
|
|
[test/README.md](test/README.md) for information on the test framework.
|
|
|
|
6. New features or changed functionality must include
|
|
documentation. Please look at the `.pod` files in `doc/man[1357]` for
|
|
examples of our style. Run `make doc-nits` to make sure that your
|
|
documentation changes are clean.
|
|
|
|
7. For user visible changes (API changes, behaviour changes, ...),
|
|
consider adding a note in [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md).
|
|
This could be a summarising description of the change, and could
|
|
explain the grander details.
|
|
Have a look through existing entries for inspiration.
|
|
Please note that this is NOT simply a copy of git-log one-liners.
|
|
Also note that security fixes get an entry in [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md).
|
|
This file helps users get more in-depth information of what comes
|
|
with a specific release without having to sift through the higher
|
|
noise ratio in git-log.
|
|
|
|
8. Guidelines on how to integrate error output of new crypto library modules
|
|
can be found in [crypto/err/README.md](crypto/err/README.md).
