1 A quick list of rules for committing stuff into netfilter svn:
3 - Always include the Name of the Author/Contributor in the SVN comment
4 like 'fix for foo (Au Thor)'
6 - make sure that you have set the executable bits on an 'extensions/.*-test'
7 script before adding/committing it to SVN
9 - If the commit fixes a bugzilla bug, please include '(Closes: #bugnr)' in
12 - Make sure you don't commit to svn while a feature freeze is announced
14 - For new extensions, there are two possible cases:
15 1) header files are just in patch-o-matic patch, you need an
16 'extensions/.*-test' script to have a conditional build
17 2) header files are in patch-o-matic patch, and copied to
18 'netfilter/include/linux/netfilter_xxx'. This way the extension
19 can be built _unconditionally_, and thus be included in
20 'extensions/Makefile'. Make sure to keep the headers in sync!
22 Usually '1)' is used, but in case something is expected to show up in the
23 kernel soon, we should already make userspace support unconditionally.
