A quick list of rules for committing stuff into netfilter git:
- Always add an appropriate description, in git format
(i.e. first line is a summary)
- Please try to include references to bugs when the description does not
include total discussion coverage or when the bug report is external to
netfilter-devel, e.g.
"Closes: netfilter bugzilla #123", or
"Reference: http://bugs.{debian,gentoo}.org/..."
- If you touch any parts of libxtables (xtables.c, include/xtables.h.in),
make sure the so-version is updated _appropriately_ (i.e. read the
libtool manual about Versioning:: first, if need be) in configure.ac.
Adding fields to a struct always entails a vcurrent bump.
- Check, whether a bump (vcurrent,vage) has already been made since the
last release (no more than one per release), e.g.:
git log v1.4.4.. configure.ac
