| |
| If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file. |
| |
| When updating a package, please include the category and component in the |
| start of the description. For example: |
| cc/gcc: update to the Linaro 2011.09 release |
| |
| Here is the (mostly-complete) list of categories and components: |
| |
| Categories | Components |
| ------------+------------------------------------------------------- |
| arch | alpha, arm, mips, powerpc... |
| cc | gcc |
| binutils | binutils, elf2flt, sstrip |
| libc | eglibc, uClibc, glibc, newlib, mingw, none |
| kernel | linux, mingw32, bare-metal |
| debug | dmalloc, duma, gdb, ltrace, strace |
| complibs | gmp, mpfr, ppl, cloog, mpc, libelf |
| comptools | make, m4, autoconf, automake, libtool |
| ------------+------------------------------------------------------- |
| | The following categories have no component-part: |
| samples | when adding/updating/removing a sample |
| kconfig | for stuff in the kconfig/ dir |
| docs | for changes to the documentation |
| configure | for changes to ./configure and/or Makefile.in |
| config | for stuff in config/ not covered above |
| scripts | for stuff in scripts/ not covered above |
| |
| |
| Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically |
| something like: |
| Signed-off-by: John DOE <john.doe@somewhere.net> |
| |
| The SoB line is clearly described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches , section |
| 12, of your favourite Linux kernel source tree. |
| |
| You can also add any of the following lines if applicable: |
| Acked-by: |
| Tested-by: |
| Reviewed-by: |
| |
| For larger or more frequent contributions, mercurial should be used. |
| There is a nice, complete and step-by-step tutorial in section 'C'. |
