| 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! |
