However, please follow the following guidelines when posting a GitHub Pull +Request or filing a GitHub Issue on the systemd project: + +## Filing Issues + +* We use GitHub Issues **exclusively** for tracking **bugs** and **feature** **requests** of systemd. If you are + looking for help, please contact our [mailing list](http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel) + instead. +* We only track bugs in the **two** **most** **recently** **released** **versions** of systemd in the GitHub Issue + tracker. If you are using an older version of systemd, please contact your distribution's bug tracker instead. +* When filing an issue, specify the **systemd** **version** you are experiencing the issue with. Also, indicate which + **distribution** you are using. +* Please include an explanation how to reproduce the issue you are pointing out. + +Following these guidelines makes it easier for us to process your issue, and ensures we won't close your issue +right-away for being misfiled. + +## Posting Pull Requests + +* Make sure to post PRs only relative to a very recent git master. +* Follow our [Coding Style](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/systemd/systemd/master/CODING_STYLE) when contributing + code. This is a requirement for all code we merge. +* Make sure to run "make check" locally, before posting your PR. We use a CI system, meaning we don't even look at your + PR, if the build and tests don't pass. +* If you need to update the code in an existing PR, please consider opening a new PR (mentioning in it which old PR it + replaces) and closing the old PR. This is much preferable over force-pushing a new patch set into the PR's branch, as + commit comments aren't lost that way. That said, we don't follow this rule ourselves quite often, hence this is + really just a say as we say, not say as we do... + +## Final Words + +We'd like to apologize in advance if we are not able to process and reply to your issue or PR right-away. We have a lot +of work to do, but we are trying our best! + +Thank you very much for your contributions! |
