Notes for Hackers
-----------------
Here are some quick notes, that may or may not evolve into something more
substantial over time. Development is preferably done via git merges.
* git trees don't contain pre-built config/Makefiles/etc. You'll need to
run the following (in order):
aclocal -I m4
automake --add-missing --copy
autoconf
* Regression tests can be run as follows (try --help for more details):
tests/runtests
* Documentation is in SGML source in doc/ so don't edit *.8, *.5 directly.
Prior to a new release:
Update configure.ac with new version
prune git tree/commit with new version in configure.ac
prep tree for tarball
push to kerneltools.org (along with GPG signed ASC signature)
