-title: Getting Linux Foundation account
----
-
-In order to participate in the development of the Automotive Grade Linux
-project, you will need a Linux Foundation account. You will need to use
-your LF ID to access to all the AGL community development tools,
-including [Gerrit](http://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/),
-[Jira](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/) and the
-[Wiki](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/) (for editing, only).
-
-**NOTE:** Further information about Contributing to the AGL Distro
-available at [AGL wiki](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/contributing).
-
-## Creating Linux Foundation ID
-
- 1. Go to the [Linux Foundation ID website](https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/).
-
- 2. Select the option `I need to create a Linux Foundation ID`, and fill
- out the form that appears. (It is advised to authenticate through email
- instead of logging through Facebook/Google/Github.)
-
- 3. Wait a few minutes, then look for an email message with the subject
- line: `Validate your Linux Foundation ID email`.
-
- 4. Open the received URL to validate your email address.
-
- 5. Verify that your browser displays the message ``You have
- successfully validated your e-mail address``.
-
- 6. Access [Gerrit](http://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/) by selecting
- ``Sign In``, and use your new Linux Foundation account ID to sign in.
-
-## Configuring Gerrit to Use SSH
-
-Gerrit uses SSH to interact with your Git client. If you already have an SSH
-key pair, you can skip the part of this section that explains how to generate one.
-
-What follows explains how to generate an SSH key pair in a Linux environment ---
-follow the equivalent steps on your OS.
-
-First, create an SSH key pair with the command:
-
- ```sh
- $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "John Doe john.doe@example.com"
- ```
-
-**Note:** This will ask you for a password to protect the private key as
-it generates a unique key. Please keep this password private, and DO NOT
-enter a blank password.
-
-The generated SSH key pair can be found in the files ``~/.ssh/id_rsa`` and
-``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub``.
-
-Next, add the private key in the ``id_rsa`` file to your key ring, e.g.:
-
- ```sh
- $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
- ```
-
-Finally, add the public key of the generated key pair to the Gerrit
-server, with the following steps:
-
-1. Go to [Gerrit](http://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/).
-
-2. Click on your account name in the upper right corner.
-
-3. From the pop-up menu, select ``Settings``.
-
-4. On the left side menu, click on ``SSH Public Keys``.
-
-5. Paste the contents of your public key ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` and click
- ``Add key``.
-
-**Note:** The ``id_rsa.pub`` file can be opened with any text editor.
-Ensure that all the contents of the file are selected, copied and pasted
-into the ``Add SSH key`` window in Gerrit.
-
-**Note:** The SSH key generation instructions operate on the assumption
-that you are using the default naming. It is possible to generate
-multiple SSH keys and to name the resulting files differently. See the
-[ssh-keygen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-keygen) documentation for
-details on how to do that. Once you have generated non-default keys, you
-need to configure SSH to use the correct key for Gerrit. In that case,
-you need to create a ``~/.ssh/config`` file modeled after the one below.
-
- ```sh
-host gerrit.automotivelinux.org
- HostName gerrit.automotivelinux.org
- IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_automotivelinux_gerrit
- User <LFID>
-```
-
-`<LFID>` is your Linux Foundation ID and the value of IdentityFile is the
-name of the public key file you generated.
-
-**Warning:** Potential Security Risk! Do not copy your private key
-``~/.ssh/id_rsa``. Use only the public ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub``.

-title: Using Jira for current work items
----
-
-This document has been created to give further insight into the work in progress
-towards the Automotive Grade Linux architecture based on the community roadmap.
-The requirements for the roadmap are being tracked in
-[Jira](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/).
-
-On this page you will see all the public (and restricted) boards that have been
-created. For example the **Board Name** *CI and Automated Test Expert Group*:
-
-![Jira boards](images/jira-2.png)
-
-When you click on *CI and Automated Test Expert Group* under **Board name** you
-will be directed to a page that contains the following columns:
-
-![Jira boards](images/jira-3.png)
-
-The meanings to these columns are as follows:
-
-- **NOT STARTED** – list of items slated for the current sprint (sprints are
- defined in 2 week iterations), but are not currently in progress
-- **IN PROGRESS** – items currently being worked by someone in the community.
-- **DONE** – items merged and complete in the sprint.
-
-If there is an item you are interested in working on, want more information or
-have questions, or if there is an item that you feel needs to be in higher
-priority, please add comments directly to the Jira item. All feedback and help
-is very much appreciated. \ No newline at end of file

-title: Working with Gerrit
----
-
-Follow these instructions to collaborate on AGL through the Gerrit review
-system.
-
-Please be sure that you are subscribed to the [mailing
-list](https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community) and of course, you
-can reach out on IRC at the #automotive channel on Freenode.net
-
-Gerrit assigns the following roles to users:
-
-- **Submitters**: May submit changes for consideration, review other code
- changes, and make recommendations for acceptance or rejection by voting +1 or
- -1, respectively.
-- **Maintainers**: May approve or reject changes based upon feedback from
- reviewers voting +2 or -2, respectively.
-
-## Getting deeper into Gerrit
-
-A comprehensive walk-through of Gerrit is beyond the scope of this document.
-There are plenty of resources available on the Internet. A good summary can be
-found [here](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial) and [Basic Gerrit
-Walkthrough for GitHub
-Users](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-gerrit-walkthrough-github.html).
-
-## Working with a local clone of the repository
-
-To work on something, whether a new feature or a bugfix:
-
-1. Open the Gerrit [repo
- page](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/admin/repos/).
-
-2. Select the repository you wish to work on.
-
-3. Open a terminal window and clone the project locally using the ``Clone with
- git hook`` URL. Be sure that ``ssh`` is also selected, as this will make
- authentication much simpler. For example, for `documentation` repository:
-
- ```sh
- $ git clone "ssh://<LFID>@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:29418/AGL/documentation" && scp -p -P
- 29418 <LFID>@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:hooks/commit-msg "documentation/.git/hooks/"
- ```
-
-4. Setup `user` and `email` for git config
-
- ```sh
- $ cd documentation
- $ git.config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
- $ git config --global user.email "your@email.com"
- ```
-
- **NOTE:** To only configure for a particular repository :
-
- ```sh
- $ cd documentation
- $ git.config user.name "Your Full Name"
- $ git config user.email "your@email.com"
- ```
-
-5. Create a descriptively-named branch off of your cloned repository
-
- ```sh
- $ git checkout -b issue-nname
- ```
-
-## Using git review
-
-There's a **very** useful tool for working with Gerrit called
-[git-review](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/git-review). This
-command-line tool can automate most of the ensuing sections for you. Ofcourse,
-reading the information below is also highly recommended so that you understand
-what's going on behind the scenes.
-
-```sh
-# for first time use only
-$ git review -s
-```
-If `.gitreview` is missing, add the following section to ``.git/config``, and
-replace ``<LFID>`` with your LFID id.
-
-```sh
-[remote "gerrit"]
- url = ssh://<LFID>@gerrit.automotivelinux.org:29418/AGL/documentation.git
- fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/gerrit/*
-```
-
-Then submit your change with ``git review``.
-
-```sh
-$ cd documentation
-$ git review
-```
-
-When you update your patch, you can commit with ``git commit --amend``, and then
-repeat the ``git review`` command.
-
-## Typical Review Workflow
-
- - New Fresh Change
-
- ```sh
- $ cd documentation # Working Repository
- $ git remote -v update # Updating wrt remote
- $ git checkout -b mytopicbranch origin/master # Creating new branch
- ### CODE the CHANGES
- $ git add  <file> # Track the changed files
- $ git commit -s # Signed Commit Message
- $ git review # Submit Changes to review
- ```
-
- - Updating existing Gerrit Review
-
- ```sh
- $ cd documentation # Working Repository
- $ git review -d 25678 # Download review, 25678 is change number
- ### CODE the CHANGES
- $ git add  <file> # Track the changed files
- $ git commit -s # Signed Commit Message
- $ git review # Submit Changes to review
- $ git checkout master # Return to master branch
- ```
-
-## Reviewing Using Gerrit
-
-- **Add**: This button allows the change submitter to manually add names of
- people who should review a change; start typing a name and the system will
- auto-complete based on the list of people registered and with access to the
- system. They will be notified by email that you are requesting their input.
-
-- **Abandon**: This button is available to the submitter only; it allows a
- committer to abandon a change and remove it from the merge queue.
-
-- **Change-ID**: This ID is generated by Gerrit (or system). It becomes useful
- when the review process determines that your commit(s) have to be amended.
- You may submit a new version; and if the same Change-ID header (and value)
- are present, Gerrit will remember it and present it as another version of the
- same change.
-
-- **Status**: Currently, the example change is in review status, as indicated
- by “Needs Verified” in the upper-left corner. The list of Reviewers will all
- emit their opinion, voting +1 if they agree to the merge, -1 if they
- disagree. Gerrit users with a Maintainer role can agree to the merge or
- refuse it by voting +2 or -2 respectively.
-
-Notifications are sent to the email address in your commit message's
-Signed-off-by line. Visit your [Gerrit
-dashboard](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/dashboard/self), to check
-the progress of your requests.
-
-The history tab in Gerrit will show you the in-line comments and the author of
-the review.

-title: Submitting Changes
----
-
-Carefully review the following before submitting a change. These guidelines
-apply to developers that are new to open source, as well as to experienced open
-source developers.
-
-## Change Requirements
-
-
-This section contains guidelines for submitting code changes for review. For
-more information on how to submit a change using Gerrit, please see [Working
-with Gerrit](./3_Working_with_Gerrit.md).
-
-Changes are submitted as Git commits. Each commit must contain:
-
-- a short and descriptive subject line that is 72 characters or fewer, followed
- by a blank line.
-- a change description with your logic or reasoning for the changes, followed
- by a blank line
-- a Signed-off-by line, followed by a colon (Signed-off-by:)
-- a Change-Id identifier line, followed by a colon (Change-Id:). Gerrit won't
- accept patches without this identifier.
-
-A commit with the above details is considered well-formed. [This
-page](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) is a very useful for the same.
-
-All changes and topics sent to Gerrit must be well-formed. Informationally,
-``commit messages`` must include:
-
-- **what** the change does,
-- **why** you chose that approach, and
-- **how** you know it works -- for example, which tests you ran.
-
-For example: One commit fixes whitespace issues, another renames a function and
-a third one changes the code's functionality. An example commit file is
-illustrated below in detail:
-
-```sh
-
-A short description of your change with no period at the end
-
-You can add more details here in several paragraphs, but please keep each line
-width less than 80 characters. A bug fix should include the issue number.
-
-Bug-AGL: [SPEC-<JIRA-ID>]
-Change-Id: IF7b6ac513b2eca5f2bab9728ebd8b7e504d3cebe1
-Signed-off-by: Your Name <commit-sender@email.address>
-```
-
-Include the issue ID in the one line description of your commit message for
-readability. Gerrit will link issue IDs automatically to the corresponding entry
-in Jira.
-
-Each commit must also contain the following line at the bottom of the commit
-message:
-
-```sh
-Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.address>
-```
-
-The name in the Signed-off-by line and your email must match the change
-authorship information. Make sure your :file:``.git/config`` is set up
-correctly. Always submit the full set of changes via Gerrit.
-
-When a change is included in the set to enable other changes, but it will not be
-part of the final set, please let the reviewers know this.

----
-
-1. Click on a link for incoming or outgoing review.
-
-2. The details of the change and its current status are loaded:
-
- ![review](images/review.png)
-
- - **Status:** Displays the current status of the change.
-
- - **Reply:** Click on this button after reviewing to add a final review
- message and a score, -1, 0 or +1.
-
- - **Patch Sets:** If multiple revisions of a patch exist, this button
- enables navigation among revisions to see the changes. By default, the
- most recent revision is presented.
-
- - **Download:** This button brings up another window with multiple
- options to download or checkout the current changeset. The button on
- the right copies the line to your clipboard. You can easily paste it
- into your git interface to work with the patch as you prefer.
-
- Underneath the commit information, the files that have been changed by
- this patch are displayed.
-
-3. Click on a filename to review it. Select the code base to differentiate
- against. The default is ``Base`` and it will generally be what is needed.
-
-4. The review page presents the changes made to the file. At the top of the
- review, the presentation shows some general navigation options. Navigate
- through the patch set using the arrows on the top right corner. It is
- possible to go to the previous or next file in the set or to return to the
- main change screen. Click on the yellow sticky pad to add comments to the
- whole file.
-
- The focus of the page is on the comparison window. The changes made are
- presented in green on the right versus the base version on the left.
- Double click to highlight the text within the actual change to provide
- feedback on a specific section of the code. Press *c* once the code is
- highlighted to add comments to that section.
-
-5. After adding the comment, it is saved as a *Draft*.
-
-6. Once you have reviewed all files and provided feedback, click the *green up
- arrow* at the top right to return to the main change page. Click the
- ``Reply`` button, write some final comments, and submit your score for the
- patch set. Click ``Post`` to submit the review of each reviewed file, as well
- as your final comment and score. Gerrit sends an email to the
- change-submitter and all listed reviewers. Finally, it logs the review for
- future reference. All individual comments are saved as *Draft* until the
- ``Post`` button is clicked.

-title: Gerrit Recommended Practices
----
-
-This document presents some best practices to help you use Gerrit more
-effectively. The intent is to show how content can be submitted easily. Use the
-recommended practices to reduce your troubleshooting time and improve
-participation in the community.
-
-## Commit Messages
-
-Gerrit follows the Git commit message format. Ensure the headers are at the
-bottom and don't contain blank lines between one another. The following example
-shows the format and content expected in a commit message:
-
-Brief (no more than 50 chars) one line description.
-
-Elaborate summary of the changes made referencing why (motivation), what was
-changed and how it was tested. Note also any changes to documentation made to
-remain consistent with the code changes, wrapping text at 72 chars/line.
-
-```sh
-Bug-AGL: SPEC-<JIRA-ID>
-
-Change-Id: LONGHEXHASH
-Signed-off-by: Your Name your.email\@example.org
-```
-
-The Gerrit server provides a precommit hook to autogenerate the Change-Id which
-is one time use.
-
-**Recommended reading:** [How to Write a Git Commit
-Message](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
-
-## Avoid Pushing Untested Work to a Gerrit Server
-
-To avoid pushing untested work to Gerrit.
-
-Check your work at least three times before pushing your change to Gerrit. Be
-mindful of what information you are publishing.
-
-## Keeping Track of Changes
-
-- Set Gerrit to send you emails:
-
-- Gerrit will add you to the email distribution list for a change if a
- developer adds you as a reviewer, or if you comment on a specific Patch Set.
-
-- Opening a change in Gerrit's review interface is a quick way to follow that
- change.
-
-- Watch projects in the Gerrit projects section at ``Gerrit``, select at least
- *New Changes, New Patch Sets, All Comments* and *Submitted Changes*.
-
-Always track the projects you are working on; also see the feedback/comments
-[mailing list](https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community) to learn
-and help others ramp up.
-
-## Topic branches
-
-Topic branches are temporary branches that you push to commit a set of
-logically-grouped dependent commits:
-
-To push changes from ``REMOTE/master`` tree to Gerrit for being reviewed as a
-topic in **TopicName** use the following command as an example:
-
-```sh
-$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/for/master/TopicName
-```
-
-The topic will show up in the review ``UI`` and in the ``Open Changes List``.
-Topic branches will disappear from the master tree when its content is merged.
-
-## Finding Available Topics
-
-```sh
-$ ssh -p 29418 <LFID>@gerrit.automotivelinux.org gerrit query \ status:open branch:master| grep topic: | sort -u
-```
-
-- [gerrit.automotivelinux.org](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org) is the
- current URL where the project is hosted.
-- *status* : Indicates the topic's current status: open , merged, abandoned,
- draft, merge conflict.
-- *project* : Refers to the current name of the project, in this case fabric.
-- *branch* : The topic is searched at this branch.
-- *topic* : The name of an specific topic, leave it blank to include them all.
-- *sort* : Sorts the found topics, in this case by update (-u).
-
-## Downloading or Checking Out a Change
-
-In the review UI, on the top right corner, the **Download** link provides a list
-of commands and hyperlinks to checkout or download diffs or files.
-
-We recommend the use of the *git review* plugin. The steps to install git review
-are beyond the scope of this document. Refer to the [git review
-documentation](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo/FirstTimers)
-for the installation process.
-
-To check out a specific change using Git, the following command usually works:
-
-```sh
-$ git review -d CHANGEID
-```
-
-If you don't have Git-review installed, the following commands will do the same
-thing:
-
-```sh
-$ git fetch REMOTE refs/changes/NN/CHANGEIDNN/VERSION \ && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
-```
-
-For example, for the 4th version of change 2464, NN is the first two digits
-(24):
-
-```sh
-$ git fetch REMOTE refs/changes/24/2464/4 \ && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
-```
-
-## Using Sandbox Branches
-
-You can create your own branches to develop features. The branches are pushed to
-the ``refs/heads/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME`` location.
-
-These commands ensure the branch is created in Gerrit's server.
-
-```sh
-$ git checkout -b sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME
-$ git push --set-upstream REMOTE HEAD:refs/heads/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME
-```
-
-Usually, the process to create content is:
-
-- develop the code,
-- break the information into small commits,
-- submit changes,
-- apply feedback,
-- rebase.
-
-The next command pushes forcibly without review:
-
-```sh
-$ git push REMOTE sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME
-```
-
-You can also push forcibly with review:
-
-```sh
-$ git push REMOTE HEAD:ref/for/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME
-```
-
-## Updating the Version of a Change
-
-During the review process, you might be asked to update your change. It is
-possible to submit multiple versions of the same change. Each version of the
-change is called a patch set.
-
-Always maintain the **Change-Id** that was assigned. For example, there is a
-list of commits, **c0...c7**, which were submitted as a topic branch:
-
-```sh
-
-$ git log REMOTE/master..master
-
- c0
- ...
- c7
-
-$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/for/master/SOMETOPIC
-```
-
-After you get reviewers' feedback, there are changes in **c3** and **c4** that
-must be fixed. If the fix requires rebasing, rebasing changes the commit Ids,
-see the [rebasing](http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing) section
-for more information. However, you must keep the same Change-Id and push the
-changes again:
-
-```sh
-$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/for/master/SOMETOPIC
-```
-
-This new push creates a patches revision, your local history is then cleared.
-However you can still access the history of your changes in Gerrit on the
-``review UI`` section, for each change.
-
-It is also permitted to add more commits when pushing new versions.
-
-### Rebasing
-
-Rebasing is usually the last step before pushing changes to Gerrit; this allows
-you to make the necessary *Change-Ids*. The *Change-Ids* must be kept the same.
-
-- **squash:** mixes two or more commits into a single one.
-- **reword:** changes the commit message.
-- **edit:** changes the commit content.
-- **reorder:** allows you to interchange the order of the commits.
-- **rebase:** stacks the commits on top of the master.
-
-## Rebasing During a Pull
-
-Before pushing a rebase to your master, ensure that the history has a
-consecutive order.
-
-For example, your ``REMOTE/master`` has the list of commits from **a0** to
-**a4**; Then, your changes **c0...c7** are on top of **a4**; thus:
-
-```sh
-$ git log --oneline REMOTE/master..master
-
- a0
- a1
- a2
- a3
- a4
- c0
- c1
- ...
- c7
-```
-
-If ``REMOTE/master`` receives commits **a5**, **a6** and **a7**. Pull with a
-rebase as follows:
-
-```sh
-$ git pull --rebase REMOTE master
-```
-
-This pulls **a5-a7** and re-apply **c0-c7** on top of them:
-
-```sh
-$ git log --oneline REMOTE/master..master
-a0
-...
-a7
-c0
-c1
-...
-c7
-```
-
-## Getting Better Logs from Git
-
-Use these commands to change the configuration of Git in order to produce better
-logs:
-
-```sh
-$ git config log.abbrevCommit true
-```
-
-The command above sets the log to abbreviate the commits' hash.
-
-```sh
-$ git config log.abbrev 5
-```
-
-The command above sets the abbreviation length to the last 5 characters of the
-hash.
-
-```sh
-$ git config format.pretty oneline
-```
-
-The command above avoids the insertion of an unnecessary line before the Author
-line.

-## Getting help
-
-If you are looking for something to work on, or need some expert assistance in
-debugging a problem or working out a fix to an issue, our community is always
-eager to help. We hang out on various [developer
-meetings](https://www.automotivelinux.org/developer-meetings/), IRC (#automotive
-on freenode.net) and the [mailing
-lists](https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community). We will be glad
-to help. The only silly question is the one you don't ask. Questions are in fact
-a great way to help improve the project as they highlight where our
-documentation could be clearer.
-
-## Reporting bugs
-
-If you are a user and you have found a bug, please submit an issue using
-[JIRA](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/). Before you create a new JIRA issue,
-please try to search the existing items to be sure no one else has previously
-reported it. If it has been previously reported, then you might add a comment
-that you also are interested in seeing the defect fixed.
-
-If it has not been previously reported, create a new JIRA. Please try to provide
-sufficient information for someone else to reproduce the issue. One of the
-project's maintainers should respond to your issue within 24 hours. If not,
-please bump the issue with a comment and request that it be reviewed.
-
-## Submitting your fix
-
-If you just submitted a JIRA for a bug you've discovered, and would like to
-provide a fix, we would welcome that gladly! Please assign the JIRA issue to
-yourself, then you can submit a change request (CR).
-
-**NOTE:** If you need help with submitting your first CR, we have created a
-brief [tutorial](./4_Submitting_Changes.md) for you.
-
-## Fixing issues and working stories
-
-Review the [open issue list](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/issues/?filter=-5)
-and find something that interests you. It is wise to start with something
-relatively straight forward and achievable, and that no one is already assigned.
-If no one is assigned, then assign the issue to yourself. Please be considerate
-and rescind the assignment if you cannot finish in a reasonable time, or add a
-comment saying that you are still actively working the issue if you need a
-little more time.
-
-## Reviewing submitted Change Requests (CRs)
-
-Another way to contribute and learn about Automotive Grade Linux is to help the
-maintainers with the review of the CRs that are open. Indeed maintainers have
-the difficult role of having to review all the CRs that are being submitted and
-evaluate whether they should be merged or not. You can review the code and/or
-documentation changes, test the changes, and tell the submitters and maintainers
-what you think. Once your review and/or test is complete just reply to the CR
-with your findings, by adding comments and/or voting. A comment saying something
-like "I tried it on system X and it works" or possibly "I got an error on system
-X: xxx " will help the maintainers in their evaluation. As a result, maintainers
-will be able to process CRs faster and everybody will gain from it.
-
-Just browse through the [open CRs on
-Gerrit](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/q/status:open) to get started.
-
-## Making Feature/Enhancement Proposals
-
-Review [JIRA](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/) to be sure that there isn't
-already an open (or recently closed) proposal for the same function. If there
-isn't, to make a proposal we recommend that you open a JIRA Epic, Story or
-Improvement, whichever seems to best fit the circumstance and link or inline a
-"one pager" of the proposal that states what the feature would do and, if
-possible, how it might be implemented. It would help also to make a case for why
-the feature should be added, such as identifying specific use case(s) for which
-the feature is needed and a case for what the benefit would be should the
-feature be implemented. Once the JIRA issue is created, and the "one pager"
-either attached, inlined in the description field, or a link to a publicly
-accessible document is added to the description, send an introductory email to
-the [agl-dev community](mailto:agl-dev-community@lists.automotivelinux.org)
-mailing list linking the JIRA issue, and soliciting feedback.
-
-Discussion of the proposed feature should be conducted in the JIRA issue itself,
-so that we have a consistent pattern within our community as to where to find
-design discussion.
-
-Getting the support of three or more of the AGL maintainers for the new feature
-will greatly enhance the probability that the feature's related CRs will be
-merged.
-
-## What makes a good change request?
-
-- One change at a time. Not five, not three, not ten. One and only one. Why?
- Because it limits the blast area of the change. If we have a regression, it
- is much easier to identify the culprit commit than if we have some composite
- change that impacts more of the code.
-
-- Include a link to the JIRA story for the change. Why? Because a) we want to
- track our velocity to better judge what we think we can deliver and when and
- b) because we can justify the change more effectively. In many cases, there
- should be some discussion around a proposed change and we want to link back
- to that from the change itself.
-
-- Include unit and integration tests (or changes to existing tests) with every
- change. This does not mean just happy path testing, either. It also means
- negative testing of any defensive code that it correctly catches input
- errors. When you write code, you are responsible to test it and provide the
- tests that demonstrate that your change does what it claims. Why? Because
- without this we have no clue whether our current code base actually works.
-
-- Minimize the lines of code per CR. Why? If you send a 1,000 or 2,000 LOC
- change, how long do you think it takes to review all of that code? Keep your
- changes to < 200-300 LOC, if possible. If you have a larger change, decompose
- it into multiple independent changess. If you are adding a bunch of new
- functions to fulfill the requirements of a new capability, add them
- separately with their tests, and then write the code that uses them to
- deliver the capability. Of course, there are always exceptions. If you add a
- small change and then add 300 LOC of tests, you will be forgiven;-) If you
- need to make a change that has broad impact or a bunch of generated code
- (protobufs, etc.). Again, there can be exceptions.
-
- **NOTE:** Large change requests, e.g. those with more than 300 LOC are
- more likely than not going to receive a -2, and you'll be asked to
- refactor the change to conform with this guidance.
-
-- Do not stack change requests (e.g. submit a CR from the same local branch as
- your previous CR) unless they are related. This will minimize merge conflicts
- and allow changes to be merged more quickly. If you stack requests your
- subsequent requests may be held up because of review comments in the
- preceding requests.
-
-- Write a meaningful commit message. Include a meaningful 50 (or less)
- character title, followed by a blank line, followed by a more comprehensive
- description of the change. Each change MUST include the JIRA identifier
- corresponding to the change (e.g. [SPEC-1234]). This can be in the title but
- should also be in the body of the commit message. See the [complete
- requirements](./4_Submitting_Changes.md) for an acceptable change request.
-
- **NOTE:** That Gerrit will automatically create a hyperlink to the JIRA item.
-
- ```sh
- Bug-AGL: [SPEC-<JIRA-ID>] ....
-
- Fix [SPEC-<JIRA-ID>] ....
- ```
-
-Finally, be responsive. Don't let a change request fester with review comments
-such that it gets to a point that it requires a rebase. It only further delays
-getting it merged and adds more work for you - to remediate the merge conflicts.
-
-## Legal stuff
-
-We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions. This applies
-to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution.
-
-We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review, the developer must
-include a sign-off statement in the commit message. This is done to ensure that
-the author of the change adhere to follow [**DCO**](https://developercertificate.org/).
-
-```sh
-Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
-```
-
-You can include this automatically when you commit a change to your local git
-repository using ``git commit -s``.
