Contributing to Varnish Cache
=============================
Official development tree is here:
https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache
These days we prefer patches as pull requests directly to that tree.
Bugreports go there too.
Our main project communication is through our developer IRC channel::
#varnish-hacking on server irc.linpro.no
(That channel is not for user questions, use the #varnish channel for that.)
Mondays at 15:00 EU time we hold our weekly "bugwash" where we go
through new (and old) tickets. It speeds things up a lot if you
can join the channel and answer questions directly when we go over
the ticket.
GitHub pull requests
--------------------
Pull requests are handled like other tickets.
Trivial pull requests (fix typos, etc) are welcomed, but they may be committed
by a core team member and the author credited in the commit message.
For anything non trivial, please take Jens Axboe's excellent contributing guide
as guidance: https://github.com/axboe/liburing/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
Notable differences for Varnish-Cache are:
* For code style, we broadly follow bsd style(9) https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=style&sektion=9
* Regarding commit messages, we are usually less strict
* The Varnish-Cache repository uses a linear history, so all changes are rebased
on top of the current upstream head always. When your PR can no longer be
merged, rebase it and force-push your changes.
* For testing `make distcheck` should pass
