@ -29,6 +29,34 @@ using your real name. Pseudonyms or anonymous contributions cannot
unfortunately be accepted.
The preferred method of submitting the contribution to the project is by
email to the hostap mailing list:
hostap@lists.infradead.org
Note that the list may require subscription before accepting message
without moderation. You can subscribe to the list at this address:
http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
The message should contain an inlined patch against the current
development branch (i.e., the master branch of
git://w1.fi/hostap.git). Please make sure the software you use for
sending the patch does not corrupt whitespace. If that cannot be fixed
for some reason, it is better to include an attached version of the
patch file than just send a whitespace damaged version in the message
body.
The patches should be separate logical changes rather than doing
everything in a single patch. In other words, please keep cleanup, new
features, and bug fixes all in their own patches. Each patch needs a
commit log that describes the changes (what the changes fix, what
functionality is added, why the changes are useful, etc.).
Please try to follow the coding style used in the project.
In general, the best way of generating a suitable formatted patch file
is by committing the changes to a cloned git repository and using git
format-patch. The patch can then be sent, e.g., with git send-email.
