1 | # The Exim Project does not use GitHub Issues |
2 | ||
3 | Hey, we want your input, but we want to make sure that we actually see it and | |
4 | that your help is not wasted, so please read this. | |
5 | ||
6 | The GitHub repo exists for convenience for some folks, and to host our Wiki. | |
7 | The Git repo is an automated clone of our real repo over at | |
8 | <https://git.exim.org/exim.git>. | |
9 | ||
10 | Sometimes a maintainer will take a look at GitHub pull requests, just because | |
11 | we care about the software and want to know about issues, but expect long | |
12 | delays. It's not a really supported workflow. | |
13 | ||
14 | Our bug-tracker takes code-patches and is the place to go: | |
15 | <https://bugs.exim.org/> | |
16 | ||
17 | If you've found a security bug, then please email <security@exim.org>. | |
18 | All Exim Maintainers can and do use PGP. | |
19 | Keyring: <https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/Exim-Maintainers-Keyring.asc> | |
20 | We don't have a re-encrypting mailer, just encrypt to all of them please. | |
21 | ||
22 | ## If this is too much hassle ... | |
23 | ||
24 | We do periodically get around to checking GitHub Pull Requests. | |
25 | It just won't be fast. | |
26 | ||
27 | Patches should update the documentation, `doc/doc-docbook/spec.xfpt`; if you | |
28 | like, just provide the plaintext which should go in there and we can mark it | |
29 | up. | |
30 | ||
31 | If it's a whole new feature, then please guard it with a build | |
32 | option `EXPERIMENTAL_FOO`; docs are in plaintext in | |
33 | `doc/doc-txt/experimental-spec.txt`. | |
34 | ||
35 | If you're feeling particularly thorough, these files get updated too: | |
36 | * `doc/doc-txt/ChangeLog` : all changes; workflow pre-dates Git | |
37 | * `doc/doc-txt/NewStuff` : if it's a change in intended behavior which postmasters should read | |
38 | * `doc/doc-txt/OptionLists.txt` : (we usually defer this until cutting a release) | |
39 | * `src/README.UPDATING` : if you're breaking backwards compatibility | |
40 | ||
41 | Thanks! |
