Contributing Guidelines

Please make sure that all packages you commit or request to pull:

• Package a version which is still maintained by the upstream author.
• Have yourself or another person listed in the (PKG_)MAINTAINER field.
• Will be updated regularly to maintained and supported versions.
• Have no dependencies outside the openwrt core packages or this feed.
• Are tested to run (or at the very least tested to compile sucessfully)

Please make sure that all commits you make to this repository:

• Are signed-off (see https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/SubmittingPatches#a10.Signyourwork)
• Have a proper description prefixed with the package name

If you have commit access:

• Do NOT use git push --force.
• Do NOT commit to other maintainer's packages without their consent.
• Use Pull Requests if you are unsure and to suggest changes to other maintainers.

Release Branches:

• Branches named "for-XX.YY" (e.g. for-14.07) are release branches.
• These branches are built with the respective OpenWrt release and are created during the release stabilisation phase.
• Please ONLY cherry-pick or commit security and bug-fixes to these branches.
• Do NOT add new packages and do NOT do major upgrades of packages here.
• If you are unsure if your change is suitable, please use a pull request.
