How to Contribute

Packaging

Some distributions carry labwc in their repositories or user repositories.

@ptrcnull (Alpine)
@narrat (Arch)
@jbeich (FreeBSD)
@adcdam (Slackware)

kindly maintain the packages in their respective distro.

Let's keep them informed of new releases and any changes that relate to packaging. If you are maintaining a labwc package for another distro feel free to open an issue so we can add you to this list.

Coding Style

Let's try to stick to sircmpwn's coding style. If you're not used to it, you can use checkpatch.pl to run a few simple formatting checks.

Commit Messages

Write commit messages like so, keeping the top line to this sort of syntax:

cursor: add special feature

And please wrap the main commit message at max 74 characters, otherwise git log and similar look so weird.

Naming Convention

There are three types of coordinate systems: surface, output and layout - for which the variables (sx, sy), (ox, oy) and (lx, ly) are used respectively in line with wlroots. With the introduction of the scene-graph API, some wlroots functions also use node coordinates (nx, ny) but we prefer (sx, sy) where possible.

Native Language Support

Translators can add their MY_LOCALE.po files to the po directory based on po/labwc.pot and issue a pull request.
