# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in helping out the FabAccess system!
|
|
|
|
You found a bug, an exploit or a feature that doesn't work like it's documented? Please tell us
|
|
about it, see [Issues](#issues)
|
|
|
|
You have a feature request? Great, check out the paragraph on [Feature Requests](#feature-requests)
|
|
|
|
## Issues
|
|
|
|
While we try to not have any bugs or exploits or documentation bugs we're not perfect either. Thanks
|
|
for helping us out!
|
|
|
|
We have labels that help us sort issues better, so if you know what would be the correct ones,
|
|
please tag your issue:
|
|
- `documentation` if it's an documentation issue, be it lacking docs or even worse wrong docs.
|
|
- `bug` is for software bugs, unexpected behaviour, crashes and so on.
|
|
- `exploit` for any bugs that may be used as RCE, to escalate priviledges or some-such.
|
|
Don't worry if you aren't sure about the correct labels, an issue opened with no labels is much
|
|
better than no knowing about the issue!
|
|
|
|
Especially for bugs and exploits, please mark your issue as "confidential" if you think it impacts
|
|
the `stable` branch. If you're not sure, mark it as confidential anyway. It's easier to publish
|
|
information than it is to un-publish information.
|
|
|
|
If you found an exploit and it's high-impact enough that you do not want to open an issue but
|
|
instead want direct contact with the developers, you can find public keys respectively fingerprints
|
|
for GPG, XMPP+OMEMO and Matrix+MegOlm in the git repository as blobs with tags assigned to them.
|
|
|
|
You can import the gpg key for dequbed either from the repository like so:
|
|
```
|
|
$ git cat-file -p keys/dequbed/gpg | gpg --import-key
|
|
```
|
|
Or from your local trusted gpg keyserver, and/or verify it using [keybase](https://keybase.io/dequbed)
|
|
This key is also used to sign the other tags so to verify them you can run e.g.
|
|
```
|
|
$ git tag -v keys/dequbed/xmpp+omemo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Feature Requests
|
|
|
|
We also like new feature requests of course!
|
|
But before you open an issue in this repo for a feature request, please first check a few things:
|
|
1. Is it a feature that needs to be implemented in more than just the backend server? For example,
|
|
is it something also having a GUI-component or something that you want to be able to do via the
|
|
API? If so it's better suited over at the
|
|
[Lastenheft](https://gitlab.com/fabinfra/fabaccess_lastenheft) because that's where the required
|
|
coordination for that will end up happening
|
|
2. Who else needs that feature? Is this something super specific to your environment/application or
|
|
something that others will want too? If it's something that's relevant for more people please
|
|
also tell us that in the feature request.
|
|
3. Can you already get partway or all the way there using what's there already? If so please also
|
|
tell us what you're currently doing and what doesn't work or why you dislike your current
|
|
solution.

## Contributing Code
|
|
|
|
To help develop Diflouroborane you will need a Rust toolchain. I heavily recommend installing
|
|
[rustup](https://rustup.rs) even if your distribution provides a recent enough rustc, simply because
|
|
it allows to easily switch compilers between several versions of both stable and nightly. It also
|
|
allows you to download the respective stdlib crate, giving you the option of an offline reference.
|
|
|
|
We use a stable release branch / moving development workflow. This means that all *new* development
|
|
should happen on the `development` branch which is regularly merged into `stable` as releases. The
|
|
exception of course are bug- and hotfixes that can target whichever branch.
|
|
|
|
If you want to add a new feature please work off the development branch. We suggest you create
|
|
yourself a feature branch, e.g. using `git switch development; git checkout -b
|
|
feature/my-cool-feature`.
|
|
Using a feature branch keeps your local `development` branch clean, making it easier to later rebase
|
|
your feature branch onto it before you open a pull/merge request.
|
|
|
|
When you want feedback on your current progress or are ready to have it merged upstream open a merge
|
|
request. Don't worry we don't bite! ^^

## Tests

|
|
|
Sadly, still very much `// TODO:`. We're working on it! :/
