Starting + on December 1st, 2011 we put change information only in the GIT + commit log, and generate a top-level ChangeLog file from logs at + "make dist" time. As such, there are strict requirements on the + form of the commit log messages. The old ChangeLog files have all + be renamed to ChangeLog-2011 + + +* Commit log requirements + + Your commit log should always start with a one-line summary, the + second line should be blank, and the remaining lines are usually + ChangeLog-style entries for all affected files. However, it's fine + -- even recommended -- to write a few lines of prose describing the + change, when the summary and ChangeLog entries don't give enough of + the big picture. Omit the leading TABs that you're used to seeing + in a "real" ChangeLog file, but keep the maximum line length at 72 + or smaller, so that the generated ChangeLog lines, each with its + leading TAB, will not exceed 80 columns. + +* Commit log keywords + + - GnuPG-bug-id :: Values are comma or space delimited bug numbers + from bug.gnupg.org pertaining to this commit. + - Debian-bug-id :: Same as above but from the Debian bug tracker. + - CVE-id :: CVE id number pertaining to this commit. + - Regression-due-to :: Commit id of the regression fixed by this commit. + - Fixes-commit :: Commit id this commit fixes. + - Reported-by :: Value is a name or mail address of a bug reporte. + - Suggested-by :: Value is a name or mail address of someone how + suggested this change. + - Co-authored-by :: Name or mail address of a co-author + - Some-comments-by :: Name or mail address of the author of + additional comments (commit log or code). + - Proofread-by :: Sometimes used by translation commits. + - Signed-off-by :: Name or mail address of the developer + +* Sending patches + + - submitting patches, and subsequent discussions around them, + happens via the gnupg-devel@gnupg.org public mailing list + + - send your patches to that list, preferably PGP/MIME signed.
