Patches and SVN guidelinesAll my projects are open to anybody how like to contribute. However there are a few things that should be considered. I started working on OSS with MPlayer and I liked their guidelines. So basically more or less all rules for the MPlayer cvs apply here too. Currently their is no mailling list so just send them to albeu AT free DOT fr.
Only unidiff from svnUnidiff is the most understandable format for review and the default for svn diff, so please use that. It's anyway best to send patches againts the developement version in the SVN repository.
No cosmeticAll change must have a purpose. No space replacing, moving/renaming of variables/functions, etc. Basically if it doesn't change functionality it's useless. Please review your patch carefully.
Don't remove features or break anything existingIf something is possible it should stay as such.
Respect the already existing identationNo style is fixed, use what you want for new files. For existing files try to stick to the existing style.
