If you want commit access, all I need is a SourceForge user ID.<br>
Basically the only rules are:<br>
<br>
1) Make sure your code actually compiles (to .pyc or .o) on a<br>
supported platform (e.g. a recent Mac) before checking in. (Sounds<br>
obvious, but people do forget sometimes.)<br>
<br>
2) When changing existing functionality - even just bug fixes - always<br>
run the regression tests.<br>
<br>
[ Ignoring (1) or (2) can and will result in changes being reverted if<br>
we can't figure out how to fix it immediately. ]<br>
<br>
3) If you add functionality, also add a regression test if you don't<br>
want someone else to break it later.<br>
<br>
4) Tread lightly when introducing third-party dependencies (we do this<br>
all the time, of course, but we try to do so in a way that avoids<br>
breaking the library for people who don't have the same dependency<br>
installed).<br>
<br>
5) When in doubt, post your diffs to the cctbxbb for feedback.<br>
<br>
There are other subtleties and complications that inevitably arise,<br>
but I'm a big fan of learning as you go, and I find long lists of<br>
rules inhibit my creativity.<br>
