Contributions are welcome

This tool is getting wider use in various distros and environments and may not cover particular usecase.

Changes in functionlity should try to be generic and respect needs of others if applicable.

Common scripts/configs are preferred but per-distro exceptions will be added when necessary.

Backward compatibility is important to us. The scripts could be used on long-term supported distros but also in bleeding edge development environments.

Bug reports, feature requests

Please open issues for bugs or feature requests.

Some features may depend on functionality provided by linux kernel or btrfs-progs. Patches might get applied after the required functionality is merged upstream.

Pull requests

Pull requests will be accepted if the patches satisfy some basic quality requirements:

  • descriptive subject lines
  • changelogs that explain why the change is made (unless it's obvious)
  • one logical change per patch (really simple changes can be grouped), ie. multiple patches per pull request branch are fine
  • the Signed-off-by line is optional but desirable, see Developer Certificate of Origin, eg. use git commit -s

For non-github contributors: mail bug reports or patches are also accepted.

Releases

At the moment there's no schedule, the basic functionality is covered. Releases are cut when there are enough bugfixes accumulated or there's an urgent fix. If you think thre's an important fix yet unreleased, feel free to ping and ask about the ETA.
