Contributions to the project, such as translations and patches, are greatly welcome. Anyone can directly commit to the repositories, however, we ask you to send bigger changes to the mailing list to discuss them first. See the section <a href="about-project.en.html#contact">Contact</a> for more information.

The Live Systems Project uses Git as version control system and source code management. As explained in <a href="git-repositories.en.html#git-repositories">Git repositories</a> there are two main development branches: <b>debian</b> and <b>debian-next</b>. Everybody can commit to the debian-next branches of the <i>live-boot</i>, <i>live-build</i>, <i>live-config</i>, <i>live-images</i>, <i>live-manual</i> and <i>live-tools</i> repositories.

Write good commit messages. The first line must be an accurate summary of the contents of the commit which will be included in the changelog. If you need to make some further explanations, write them below leaving a blank line after the first one and then another blank line after each paragraph. Lines of paragraphs should not exceed 80 characters in length.

In order to push to the repositories, you must follow the following procedure. Here we use <i>live-manual</i> as an example so replace it with the name of the repository you want to work with. For detailed information on how to edit <i>live-manual</i> see <a href="about-manual.en.html#how-to-contribute">Contributing to this document</a>.

You can also contribute to the project working on the translation of the man pages for the different live-* packages that the project maintains. The procedure is different depending on whether you are starting a translation from scratch or continue working on an already existing one:

If you want to maintain the translation of an already existing language you have to make your changes to your <tt>manpages/po/${LANGUAGE}/*.po</tt> file or files and then run <tt>make rebuild</tt> from inside the <tt>manpages/</tt> directory. This will update the actual man pages in <tt>manpages/${LANGUAGE}/*</tt>
