- Subject: contribution checklist in the wiki
Guys,
I've created a new page in the wiki:
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist
This was heavily borrowed from glibc's own contribution checklist.
(I asked them if they were okay before doing it.)
At present, some of the info there duplicates what gdb/CONTRIBUTE
says (but in different wording). I expect it to grow some, and I'd
rather keep it dynamic, without formal review/checking steps, which
IMO for this sort of think is a too heavy process.
I tailored the original text to make it fitter for gdb, but it's
possible/likely there are things that need more editing to make
it even fitter.
I've been noticing that I often find myself pointing at the same
little mistakes over different submissions. E.g., pointing at
need to mention changes in NEWS. As I notice these patterns, I'll
add them to the wiki. I invite others to do the same.
Thanks,
