The following rules generally apply for pull requests and code changes:
Submit Pull Requests to the devel branch
The devel branch is where experimental features reside. After some
soak time they may be ported over to main and a release will be cut
that includes them.
Keep documentation up-to-date
Please make an effort to keep the documentation up-to-date to the extent
possible and necessary for the change at hand. That includes adjusting
the README and man page as well as
regenerating the PDF rendered version of the latter by running make doc.
Blend with existing patterns and style
To keep the code as consistent as possible, please try not to diverge
from the existing style used in a file. Specifically for Rust source
code, use rustfmt and
clippy to achieve a
minimum level of consistency and prevent known bugs, respectively.
