Avoid printing + to stdout or stderr outside "#ifdef DEBUG"; if it is necessary to inform + the user a run-time, prefix your output with "faketime" or make otherwise + sure that the user knows where the message is coming from. + +- If you add new functions to libfaketime.c, try placing them somewhere + where they fit will: Usually, functions are grouped by functionality + (e.g., all functions related to faking file timestamps). If that's not + possible, group them by contributor, or document your placement strategy + in the commit message. + + +DEVELOPMENT, BUILDING, AND TESTING +================================== + +- Don't break existing behaviour. Backward compatibility matters (unless + the modification fixes bugs :-)). + +- Add tests for new features. Extend test/timetest.c appropriately and + try to use the functional testing framework wherever possible. + +- Compiler and linker warnings are treated as errors and not acceptable. + +- If you cannot test the code on both Linux and OS X yourself, please + let us know and consider wrapping your code in #ifdef / #ifndef __APPLE__ + statements. + + +DOCUMENTATION +============= + +For anything more than small bugfixes, please update the user documentation +and credits appropriately: + +- The NEWS file should mention the change and your credits. +- The README and README.OSX files should be updated whenever functionality + is added or modified. +- The manpage man/faketime.1 should be updated when the wrapper application + is modified. + +For credits, please either mention your real name, your Github username, or +your email address. + +In your own interest, please be verbose on user documentation and comments +in the source code. Users will not know about new features unless they are +documented. Other authors and maintainers will need to understand your code +easily. + + +RELEASES +======== + +Official new releases are created whenever a significant amount of changes +(bugfixes or new functionality) has piled up; on average, there is one new +official release per year. Users who need to stick to the bleeding edge +are supposed to use the current state of the "master" branch at any time. + +libfaketime maintainers for several Linux distributions are informed about +release candidates and new releases by email.
