| Licensing |
| --------- |
| Only send patches to poppler if you agree to license (or relicense) them under |
| GPLv2 and later (or something more permissive that can be "upgraded" to GPLv2 |
| and later). If you do not agree to this license, please explain the problem / bug |
| and how you would solve it in words instead of code. |
| |
| By default all patches attached to the gitlab instance or sent to the mailing list |
| will be assumed to agree with the licensing expressed here. |
| |
| Channels of contact |
| ------------------- |
| Poppler has three main channels of contact: |
| * The poppler mailing list http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler |
| * The poppler gitlab instance https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/poppler/poppler/ |
| * The #poppler channel at the IRC freenode network |
| Do not hesitate to drop by talk to people there. |
| |
| clang-format |
| ------------ |
| We introduced clang-format mandatory usage in July 2020. |
| If you want git blame to ignore the revision in which we did the mass change you can do |
| git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs |
| on your clone |
| |
| To get the clang-format warnings locally instead at CI time we recommend you |
| to copy the hooks/pre-commit to your .git |
| cp hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/ |
| |
| We are using clang-format 10 on CI. Unfortunately clang-format is not totally |
| compatible with older versions of itself. If CI gives you trouble but your local |
| clang-format disagrees, just apply the changes suggested by CI and then commit |
| with the --no-verify flag. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to ask the reviewer |
| to help and they will reformat your commits :) |
| |
| And keep hacking on poppler! |
