| 53 | ====== Improving macports contributions ====== |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ===== Pull request guidelines ===== |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Check trac is actually useful |
| 58 | * Port lint |
| 59 | * Communicate better that not all checkboxes are required |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ===== Is port test still relevant? ===== |
| 62 | |
| 63 | * slow, not really useful for maintainers |
| 64 | * not removing it outright, some developers could depend on it |
| 65 | * we just need a way to test basic binary functionality (''%%blah --version%%'') |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ===== Adding color support (pretty easy) ===== |
| 68 | |
| 69 | ===== Before the pull request ===== |
