The basic philosophy is to give as few +privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done. + +## Where to find sudo + +Before building sudo, make sure you have the current version. The +latest sudo may always be gotten via anonymous ftp from ftp.sudo.ws +in the directory /pub/sudo/ or from the sudo web site, https://www.sudo.ws/ + +The distribution is sudo-M.m.tar.gz where _M_ is the major version +number and _m_ is the minor version number. Beta versions of sudo may +also be available. If you join the _sudo-workers_ mailing list you +will get the beta announcements (see the Mailing lists section below). + +## What's new + +See the NEWS file for a list of major changes in this release. For +a complete list of changes, see the [ChangeLog](ChangeLog). +For a summary of major changes to the current stable release, see +https://www.sudo.ws/releases/stable/. + +If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Sudo, read +[docs/UPGRADE.md](docs/UPGRADE.md) for information on changes in +behavior that may affect you. + +For a history of sudo see [docs/HISTORY.md](docs/HISTORY.md). +You can find a list of contributors to sudo in +[docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md](docs/CONTRIBUTORS.md). + +## Building the release + +Read the installation guide, [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md), before trying +to build sudo. Pay special attention to the "OS dependent notes" section. + +## How to contribute + +See [docs/CONTRIBUTING.md](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md) for information on +how you can help contribute to sudo. + +## Copyright + +Sudo is distributed under an ISC-style license. +Refer to [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) for details. + +## Mailing lists + +#### sudo-announce + +This list receives announcements whenever a new version of sudo is +released. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-announce + +#### sudo-blog + +This list receives a message when a new sudo blog article is +available. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-blog + +#### sudo-commits + +This list receives a message for each commit made to the sudo source +repository. https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-commits + +#### sudo-users + +This list is for questions and general discussion about sudo. +https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-users + +#### sudo-workers + +This list is for people working on and porting sudo. +https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers + +To subscribe to a list, visit its url (listed above) and enter your +email address to subscribe. Digest versions are available but these are +fairly low traffic lists so the digest versions are not a significant win. + +Mailing list archives are also available. See the mailing list web sites +for the appropriate links. + +## Web page + +There is a sudo web page at https://www.sudo.ws/ that contains an overview +of sudo, documentation, downloads, a bug tracker, the sudo blog, information +about beta versions and other useful info. + +## Bug reports + +If you have found what you believe to be a bug, you can file a bug +report in the sudo bug database, at https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/. +Alternately, you can file a GitHub issue if that is easier for you +at https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/. + +See [docs/SECURITY.md](docs/SECURITY.md) for our security policy +and how to report security issues. + +Check [docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md) *before* +submitting a bug report. When reporting bugs, be sure to include +the version of sudo you are using as well as the platform you are +running it on. -- cgit v1.2.3
