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 "run tested" (or at least compile tested)

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

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.
