NAME
mrtg-contrib - Contribution Guidelines for MRTG
DESCRIPTION
If you have written an extension to mrtg or created a bug fix, please consider
contributing it to the project. As I get quite a number of contributions every week, here
are a few guidelines which explain how to contribute so that I can use the contribution
without too much additional work.
Translations
MRTG messages have been translated to a number of languages but there are still many which
have not been covered yet. If you want to add yours, go into the mrtg-2.17.4/translate
directory and follow the instructions given in the README file.
Patches
When you have created your modification or extension to mrtg and want to submit it to me,
please crate a patch for the files which you have modified. Do not send entire files
unless they are new.
To create a patch, get hold of a copy of GNU diff (Many Unix systems will have this
installed already. In the NT world you might want to get http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
to get all the nice GNU tools available.) and type
diff --unified --ignore-space-change old-file new-file > simple.patch
or if you have modified several files do
diff --recursive --unified --ignore-space-change old-dir/ new-dir/ >long.patch
Documentation
All documentation of mrtg is done with the perl POD system. If you want to learn about it,
type
perldoc perlpod
and read the instructions. If you have bugfixes or additions to the existing documents,
make sure you modify the POD files and not the html or txt versions.
I take documentation very seriously. Whenever you create a new feature for mrtg which you
want to get included in the official release, your patch must also contain modifications
for the relevant pod file in the doc tree or for the documentation sections of cfgmaker
and indexmaker.
