# Contributing to The Bastion
This project accepts contributions. In order to contribute, you should
pay attention to a few things:
1. your code must follow the The Bastion design choices, see DESIGN.md
2. your code must follow the coding style rules
3. your code must be added to the unit and/or integration tests where applicable
4. your code must be documented
5. your work must be signed (see below)
6. you may contribute through GitHub Pull Requests
# Coding and documentation Style for source code
- All languages
- Code must be indented with 4-spaces, no tabs. Vim modelines are present
in all source files, so if you use vim, you should be good to go
- Perl
- Code must be tidy (see `bin/dev/perl-tidy.sh`)
- Code must not raise any perlcritic warning (see `bin/dev/perl-critic.sh`)
- One must refrain using any non-core Perl module (check `corelist`)
- If not possible, the module should be packaged at least under Debian,
all supported versions, and available at least in trusted third party
repositories on other supported OSes. No `cpan install`.
- POSIX shell and Bash
- Code must not raise any shellcheck warning (see `bin/dev/shell-check.sh`)
# Submitting Modifications
The contributions should be submitted through Github Pull Requests
and follow the DCO which is defined below.
# Licensing for new files
The Bastion is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Anything
contributed to The Bastion must be released under this license.
When introducing a new file into the project, please make sure it has a
copyright header making clear under which license it's being released.
# Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
To improve tracking of contributions to this project we will use a
process modeled on the modified DCO 1.1 and use a "sign-off" procedure
on patches that are being emailed around or contributed in any other
way.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right
to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple,
if you can certify the below:
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have
the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in
the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of
my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source License
and I have the right under that license to submit that work with
modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under
the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit
under a different license), as indicated in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person
who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
(d) The contribution is made free of any other party's intellectual
property claims or rights.
(e) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are
public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
then you just add a line saying
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@example.org>
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
