Development

Sideros development is email-driven, as contributions, discussions and logs all take place on specific automated mailing lists.

Mailing lists

Mailing lists are automated, to subscribe just send an email to

list-name at lists.sideros.org

putting subscribe in the mail body. Please note that some clients usually send emails with html by default, you should ensure to send plain-text emails instead, otherwise commands will not be parsed correctly.

Here is a list of the development related mailing lists:

Contributing

Documentation for contributors is available in the source tree, under the documentation/ directory. Once you got a modification you want to send, create a commit using git and generate a patch file with the following command:

$ git format-patch -M origin/master

and when you have the patch file send it to the patch mailing list, possibly using git send-email like this:

$ git send-email *.patch

Bugs

We use Bugzilla to track issues and feature requests. You can create an account there and subscribe to specific bugs to get emails with updates.
