22 If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file.
24 When updating a package, please include the category and component in the
25 start of the description. For example:
26 cc/gcc: update to the Linaro 2011.09 release
28 Here is the (mostly-complete) list of categories and components:
30 Categories | Components
31 ------------+-------------------------------------------------------
32 arch | alpha, arm, mips, powerpc...
34 binutils | binutils, elf2flt, sstrip
35 libc | eglibc, uClibc, glibc, newlib, mingw, none
36 kernel | linux, mingw32, bare-metal
37 debug | dmalloc, duma, gdb, ltrace, strace
38 complibs | gmp, mpfr, ppl, cloog, mpc, libelf
39 comptools | make, m4, autoconf, automake, libtool
40 ------------+-------------------------------------------------------
41 | The following categories have no component-part:
42 samples | when adding/updating/removing a sample
43 kconfig | for stuff in the kconfig/ dir
44 docs | for changes to the documentation
45 configure | for changes to ./configure and/or Makefile.in
46 config | for stuff in config/ not covered above
47 scripts | for stuff in scripts/ not covered above
50 Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically
52 Signed-off-by: John DOE <john.doe@somewhere.net>
54 The SoB line is clearly described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches , section
55 12, of your favourite Linux kernel source tree.
57 Add the following to your ~/.hgrc to make Mercurial check for the SoB
60 pretxncommit.signoff = hg log --template '{desc}\n' -r $HG_NODE \
61 | grep -qi '^signed-off-by:'
63 You can also add any of the following lines if applicable:
68 For larger or more frequent contributions, mercurial should be used.
69 There is a nice, complete and step-by-step tutorial in section 'C'.
