Contributing to Facebook's RPM backports for CentOS

Our Development Process

This repository is synced from an internal repository. We gladly accept pull requests and will deal with the merging appropriately.

Contributor License Agreement ("CLA")

In order to accept your pull request, we need you to submit a CLA. You only need to do this once to work on any of Facebook's open source projects.

Complete your CLA here: https://code.facebook.com/cla

Issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.

Facebook has a bounty program for the safe disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process outlined on that page and do not file a public issue.

Sending a pull request

Have a fix or feature? Awesome! When you send the pull request we suggest you include a build output.

We will hold all contributions to the same quality and style standards as the existing code.

New Packages

We'd like to keep this repo focused on "core" RPM packages that are related to the base OS. These packages either require changes to the specfile or source code patches to run on CentOS 7, or are not currently packaged at all. We try to keep packages in sync with the lastest upstream stable release, and strive to keep the delta with the upstream package as minimal as possible. We also specifically exclude straight backports (packages that build as-is without requiring any changes) from the repo, as they can be easily rebuilt from the original src.rpm as shipped by upstream.

If you would like to contribute a package, we recommend you start by filing an Issue first to avoid duplicating effort (we may have one that we can try to open-source, or other people may be writing one) before working on it.

License

By contributing to this repository, you agree that your contributions will be licensed in accordance to the LICENSE document in the root of this repository. This means that specfiles will be licensed under the MIT license, and source code changes and patches will be under the upstream license of the original packgage.
