Hello Flashrom dev team, I am LN and I wanted to know how to start with Easy Projects/contributions in this project . I found some (Easy Projects) https://ticket.coreboot.org/projects/flashrom/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&set_filter=1&sort=id%3Adesc&f%5B%5D=status_id&op%5Bstatus_id%5D=o&f%5B%5D=category_id&op%5Bcategory_id%5D=%3D&v%5Bcategory_id%5D%5B%5D=16&f%5B%5D=&c%5B%5D=tracker&c%5B%5D=status&c%5B%5D=priority&c%5B%5D=subject&c%5B%5D=assigned_to&c%5B%5D=updated_on&group_by=&t%5B%5D= on Coreboot webpage and I just wanted to know if the mentioned issues from the attached page have been resolved or if they are open for contribution? As I notice the ‘Turn variable is_laptop into an enum https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/416’ issue is open on the Coreboot page and seems to be an easy issue to resolve yet it appears to be solved on this page https://review.coreboot.org/c/flashrom/+/66891. I will be happy if someone can point me towards more such issues that are beginner friendly or to a developer guide to set up my workspace and read more about the project structure and source code, and I appreciate your help 🙂.
Thanking you, LN

The task is not resolved. Look again at the variable names. The variable mentioned in the ticket is named is_laptop, while the patch you mentioned modifies laptop_ok making use of the bool type.
Also, the task is to turn is_laptop into an enum and not bool.

Please look at the development guidelines here https://www.flashrom.org/Development_Guidelines. Also look at the README and the document Documentation/building.md, which you can find in the repository.
