HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO OpenSSL
----------------------------
(Please visit https://www.openssl.org/community/getting-started.html for
other ideas about how to contribute.)
Development is done on GitHub, https://github.com/openssl/openssl.
To request new features or report bugs, please open an issue on GitHub
To submit a patch, please open a pull request on GitHub. If you are thinking
of making a large contribution, open an issue for it before starting work,
to get comments from the community. Someone may be already working on
the same thing or there may be reasons why that feature isn't implemented.
To make it easier to review and accept your pull request, please follow these
guidelines:
1. Anything other than a trivial contribution requires a Contributor
License Agreement (CLA), giving us permission to use your code. See
https://www.openssl.org/policies/cla.html for details. If your
contribution is too small to require a CLA, put "CLA: trivial" on a
line by itself in your commit message body.
2. All source files should start with the following text (with
appropriate comment characters at the start of each line and the
year(s) updated):
Copyright 20xx-20yy The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
Licensed under the OpenSSL license (the "License"). You may not use
this file except in compliance with the License. You can obtain a copy
in the file LICENSE in the source distribution or at
https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html
3. Patches should be as current as possible; expect to have to rebase
often. We do not accept merge commits, you will have to remove them
(usually by rebasing) before it will be acceptable.
4. Patches should follow our coding style (see
https://www.openssl.org/policies/codingstyle.html) and compile
without warnings. Where gcc or clang is available you should use the
--strict-warnings Configure option. OpenSSL compiles on many varied
platforms: try to ensure you only use portable features. Clean builds
via Travis and AppVeyor are required, and they are started automatically
whenever a PR is created or updated.
5. When at all possible, patches should include tests. These can
either be added to an existing test, or completely new. Please see
test/README for information on the test framework.
6. New features or changed functionality must include
documentation. Please look at the "pod" files in doc for
examples of our style.
