Generally speaking we try to follow the Lazy Concensus model of development to keep the builds healthy and ourselves happy.
- If you're looking for concensus to make a decision post an issue for feedback and remember to account for timezones and weekends/holidays/work time.
- We want people to be opinionated in their builds so we're more of a loose confederation of repos than a top-down org.
- Try not to merge your own stuff, ask for a review. At some point when we have enough reviewers we'll be turning on branch protection.
A good bug report should describe the issue in detail. Generally speaking:
- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
- Remember that these are unofficial builds, it's usually prudent to investigate an issue before reporting it here or in Fedora!
- Collect information about the bug:
rpm-ostree status -v
usually helps
- Image and Version
- Possibly your input and the output
- Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?
We endevaour to be a good partner for Fedora.
This project is consuming new features in Fedora and ostree, it is not uncommon to find an issue. Issues should be reported upstream, and in some cases we can help test and find fixes. Some of the issues you find may involve other dependencies in other projects, in those cases the Fedora team will tell you where to report the issue.
Upstream bug tracker: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues
We use Conventional Commits and enforce them with a bot to keep the changelogs tidy:
