cc-oci-runtime is an open source project licensed under the GPL v2 License.
The coding style for cc-oci-runtime is roughly K&R with function names in column 0, and variable names aligned in declarations.
The right results can be almost achieved by doing the following.
- GNU Emacs: if you're not using auto-newline, the following should do the right thing:
(defun cc-oci-runtime-c-mode-common-hook ()
(c-set-style "k&r")
(setq indent-tabs-mode t
c-basic-offset 8))
- VIM: the default works except for the case labels in switch statements. Set the following option to fix that:
setlocal cinoptions=:0
- Indent: can be used to reformat code in a different style:
indent -kr -i8 -psl
The usual Go style, enforced by gofmt
, should be used. Additionally, the Go
Code Review document
contains a few common errors to be mindful of.
In order to get a clear contribution chain of trust we use the signed-off-by language used by the Linux kernel project.
Beside the signed-off-by footer, we expect each patch to comply with the following format:
Subsystem: Change summary (no longer than 75 characters)
More detailed explanation of your changes: Why and how.
Wrap it to 72 characters.
See:
https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
for some more good advice, and the Linux Kernel document:

For example:
OCI: Ensure state is updated when kill fails.
Killing a container involves a number of steps. If any of these fail,
the container state should be reverted to it's previous value.

Note, that the body of the message should not just be a continuation of the subject line, and is not used to extend the subject line beyond its length limit. They should stand alone as complete sentence and paragraphs.
It is recommended that each of your patches fixes one thing. Smaller patches are easier to review, and are thus more likely to be accepted and merged, and problems are more likely to be picked up during review.
We accept github pull requests.
Github has a basic introduction to the process here.
When submitting your Pull Request (PR), treat the Pull Request message the same you would a patch message, including pre-fixing the title with a subsystem name. Github by default seems to copy the message from your first patch, which many times is appropriate, but please ensure your message is accurate and complete for the whole Pull Request, as it ends up in the git log as the merge message.
Your pull request may get some feedback and comments, and require some rework. The recommended procedure for reworking is to rework your branch to a new clean state and 'force push' it to your github. GitHub understands this action, and does sensible things in the online comment history. Do not pile patches on patches to rework your branch. Any relevant information from the github comments section should be re-worked into your patch set, as the ultimate place where your patches are documented is in the git log, and not in the github comments section.
For more information on github 'force push' workflows see here.
It is perfectly fine for your Pull Request to contain more than one patch - use as many patches as you need to implement the Request (see the previously mentioned 'small patch' thoughts). Each Pull Request should only cover one topic - if you mix up different items in your patches or pull requests then you will most likely be asked to rework them.
All pull requests must include a reference to the issue or issues they solve, see Closing Issues.
Before your Pull Requests are merged into the main code base, they will be reviewed. Anybody can review any Pull Request and leave feedback (in fact, it is encouraged), but this project runs a rotational GateKeeper schedule for who is ultimately responsible for merging the Pull Requests into the main code base. See here.
We use an 'acknowledge' system for people to note if they agree, or disagree, with a Pull Request. We utilise some automated systems that can spot common acknowledge patterns, which include placing any of these at the beginning of a comment line:
- LGTM
- lgtm
- +1
- Approve
The Clear Containers community can be reached through its IRC channel and a dedicated mailing list:
- IRC:
#clearcontainers @ freenode.net
. - Mailing list: Subscribe.
If you have a problem, please let us know. IRC is a perfectly fine place to quickly informally bring something up, if you get a response. The mailing list is a more durable communication channel.
If it's a bug not already documented, by all means please open an issue in github so we all get visibility on the problem and work toward resolution.
You must add a Fixes
keyword along with the issues fixed in the body
of one of your commits:
install: Remove RHEL-specific code to handle missing chronic(1).
Don't conditionally call chronic(1) if not running under RHEL - just
check if chronic is available and use it if it is.
Fixes #789.

Github will then automatically close that issue when parsing the commit message.
If there is no an associated issue number, please create one.
