Rules for Pull Requests
- Descriptive titles. Pull requests must have a title that gives the package name the PR is for, and a short description about the PR.
- Detailed description. The body of the PR must contain a detailed description of what changes are being introduced, and most importantly, why this PR should be merged.
- One package per request. PRs must be for a single package only. A PR addressing multiple packages without merit risks having a delayed merge or being closed.
- Squash commits. Your commits must be meaningful. If you make incremental changes or fixes, they must be squashed before the pull request will be merged.
- Check that your changes build. Your submission must build using the clean chroot method on all supported architectures that the package is to be built for. No exceptions.
- Work within one PR. Do not close a PR and open another with new changes. Amend your commit and force push to your branch to update the changes in the pull request.
- Ensure your PR addresses three of the most common problems:
- Correctly update the pkgver or pkgrel of the package (see below).
- Update the checksums if external files have been added or modified.
- Is the package only for specific architectures? Set the
buildarch
variable (see the README)
Pull requests that fail to meet these requirements may be summarily closed without response.
Submitting new packages
- If the pull request is for a new package, review the README to ensure the package is going into the correct repository and meets all the stated requirements.
Updating existing packages
Upstream x86 Arch Linux packages
- If you changed the PKGBUILD or related files, detail your changes in the comment header at the top. Review the packages in this repository for examples of what this looks like.
- Increment the pkgrel variable by a decimal number if the version of the package is already in the package repositories. This is to prevent interference tracking against upstream versions. For example:
- If
pkgrel=1
, change topkgrel=1.1
- If
pkgrel=1.1
, change topkgrel=1.2
- If
- At no time should an upstream package tracked here exceed the version upstream.
- If the package is only supposed to be built for specific architectures, ensure the
buildarch
variable is set correctly (see the README)
Arch Linux ARM specific packages
- If the change increases the version of the package, ensure
pkgver
is updated andpkgrel
is reset to 1. - Otherwise, increment
pkgrel
by 1. - If the package is only supposed to be built for specific architectures, ensure the
buildarch
variable is set correctly (see the README)
