Dear LinuxBIOS committers,
I activated a set of commit rules on the svn repository:
- commits require a Signed-Off-By: tag now.
Commits without Signed-Off-By: are no longer possible. The format is:
Signed-Off-By: Name email@address
You are not supposed to put your name in there except you explained on the mailing list beforehand why you are going to do so.
Note: If this is abused we will start checking the supplied email addresses (and possibly mails to the mailinglist ;-)
The goal is to get all of us to have your code reviewed properly.
- empty commit messages are not accepted anymore
any commit with an empty commit message or a commit message consisting of Signed-Off-By: only are blocked.
----- ;-) ----- I think about adding some metric for defining change log quality (ie. minimum of 2 lines description per kilobyte of patch committed) but I will let this idea settle until the next set of really bad commit messages comes up. ----- ;-) -----
Comments?
Stefan
