|
|
This is the GIT repository for the development of Org-mode, an
|
|
Emacs mode for organizing your life.
|
|
|
|
The text below explains the rules for participating in Org-mode
|
|
development.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Main rules
|
|
|
|
1. The git repository is hosted publicly at repo.or.cz. Anyone
|
|
can get a clone of the current repository state using the
|
|
command
|
|
|
|
git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
|
|
|
|
Having a clone is sufficient to start hacking and to produce
|
|
patches that can easily and consistently be applied to the
|
|
main repository.
|
|
|
|
2. People who are interested to participate in the Org-mode
|
|
development can do so by sending patches to
|
|
emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
3. An interested developer can also request push access to the
|
|
central repository by sending his/her user-info at repo.or.cz
|
|
the maintainer of Org-mode.
|
|
|
|
After you have been added as a user with push privileges,
|
|
clone the repository through ssh using
|
|
|
|
git+ssh://repo.or.cz/srv/git/org-mode.git
|
|
|
|
By requesting push access, you acknowledge that you have read
|
|
and agreed with the following rules:
|
|
|
|
- Org-mode is part of Emacs. Therefore we need to be very
|
|
conscious about changes moving into the Org-mode core.
|
|
These can originate only from people who have signed the
|
|
appropriate papers with the Free Software Foundation. The
|
|
files to which this applies are:
|
|
|
|
- all *.el files in the root directory of the repository
|
|
- org.texi, orgcard.tex, and ChangeLog.
|
|
|
|
- Before making any significant changes, please explain and
|
|
discuss them on the mailing list emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
This does obviously not apply to people who are maintaining
|
|
their own contributions to Org-mode. Please, just use the
|
|
new mechanism to make sure all changes end up in the right
|
|
place.
|
|
|
|
- Creating and pushing a change to the Org-mode core requires
|
|
you also to provide ChangeLog entries. Just press `C-x 4 a'
|
|
in each function or variable you have modified and describe
|
|
the change you made in the ChangeLog buffer/file.
|
|
|
|
- Among other things, Org-mode is widely appreciated because
|
|
if its simplicity, cleanness and consistency. We should try
|
|
hard to preserve this and I would like to ask everyone to
|
|
keep this in mind when developing changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The CONTRIB directory
|
|
|
|
The git repository contains a CONTRIB directory. This directory
|
|
is the playing field for any developer, also people who have not
|
|
(yet) signed the papers with the FSF. You are free to add files
|
|
to this directory, implementing extensions, new link types etc.
|
|
Also non-Lisp extensions like scripts to process Org-mode files
|
|
in different ways are welcome in this directory. You should
|
|
provide documentation with your extensions, at least in the form
|
|
of commentary in the file. Please discuss your extensions on
|
|
emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
The CONTRIB directory will be part of the Org-mode distribution
|
|
starting with version 5.21. When that happens, people who want
|
|
to use extensions will have to make sure their search path
|
|
(executable or Lisp) includes the relevant directories.
|
|
|
|
After files have been tested in CONTRIB and found to be generally
|
|
useful, we may decide to clarify copyright questions and then
|
|
move the file into the Org-mode core. This means they will be
|
|
moved up to the root directory and will also eventually be added
|
|
to Emacs CVS tree. The final decision about this rests with the
|
|
maintainer.
