# Maintainer tools
-Useful tools used in daily routines:
+Useful tools for mdadm maintenance:
- [checkpatch](https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/checkpatch.html)
- [kup](https://korg.docs.kernel.org/kup.html)
- [Auto-publishing](https://korg.docs.kernel.org/kup.html#auto-publishing-with-git-archive-signer)

-# Checklist before applying patch
-
-We don't have CI testing yet, so all those steps must be performed manually:
-- Style check with [checkpatch](https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/checkpatch.html):
-
- This is the current code style follows. We are not strict to all rules. It must be run
- by **checkpatch --no-tree**, see README.md.
-
-- [Commit style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/submitting-patches.html):
-
- It doesn't need to be followed as strictly as is in kernel but changes should be logically
- separated. Submitter should care at least to mention "It is used in next patches" if unused
- externs/files are added in patch. We love: *Reported-by:*, *Suggested-by:*, *Fixes:* tags.
-
-- Compilation, ideally on various gcc versions.
-- Mdadm test suite execution.
-- Consider requesting new tests from submitter, especially for new functionalities.
-- Ensure that maintainer *sign-off* is added, before pushing.

# Making a release
Assuming that maintainer is certain that release is safe, following steps must be done:
-- Update versions strings in release commit, please refer to previous releases for examples.
+- Make and push release commit:
+ - Update versions strings, refer to previous releases for examples.
+ - Update CHANGELOG.md.
+
+- Create GPG signed tag and push it to both remotes. Use same format as was used previously,
+ prefixed by **mdadm-**, e.g. **mdadm-3.1.2**, **mdadm-4.1**.
-- Create GPG signed tag and push it to repo. Use same format as was used previously, prefixed by

**IMPORTANT:** DDF is in **maintenance only** mode. There is no active development around it.
Please do not use it in new solutions.
-# How to Contribute

- **mdadm** is hosted on [kernel.org](https://kernel.org/). You can access repository
-[here](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git).
+# Questions and Support
+
+This Github site is **not** right place to ask if your are looking for:
+- support from Linux Raid Community;
+- support with kernel issues;
+
+This is the place where development of mdadm application is done. Please, do not use for
+looking for support. You should always ask on [Mailing List](https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/).
+
+Please use issues if you have confirmation that issue you are experiencing is related to mdadm
+components:
+- mdadm;
+- mdmon;
+- raid6check;
+- swap_super;
+- test_stripe;
+- systemd services ( see systemd/);
+- udev rules;
+- manual pages (including md.man)
+
+For example:
+- mdadm issues (e.g segfaults, memory leaks, crashes, bad communication with MD driver);
+- feature requests for mdadm;
+- suggestions or minor fixes requested (e.g. better error messages);
+
+Generally, if you are not sure it is better to ask on
+[Mailing List](https://lore.kernel.org/linux-raid/) first.
-It is maintained similarly to kernel, using *mailing list*. Patches must be send through email.
-Please familiarize with general kernel
-[submitting patches](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html)
-documentation. Formatting, tags and commit message guidelines applies to **mdadm**.
+# How to Contribute
-## Sending patches step-by-step
+Effective immediately [Github](https://github.com/md-raid-utilities/mdadm) is the primary
+location for **mdadm**. Use pull request to contribute.
-To maximize change of patches being taken, follow this instruction when submitting:
+It was originally hosted on [kernel.org](https://kernel.org/). You can access the old repository
+[here](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git).
-1. Create possibly logically separated commits and generate patches:
+Patches sent through Mailing list are accepted but Github is preferred. Sent then to ML only
+if you cannot use Github. Please add "mdadm:" to the subject to allow automation to create Github
+Pull Request and run checks.
- Use ``git format-patch --cover-letter --signoff -v <nr>`` to create patches:
- * ``--cover-letter`` can be skipped if it is only one patch;
- * ``--signoff`` adds sign-off tag;
- * ``-v <nr>`` indicates review revision number, sender should increment it before resending.
+**NOTE:** Maintainers may ask you to send RFC to mailing list if the proposed code requires
+consultation with kernel developers.
-2. Check style of every patch with kernel
- [checkpatch](https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/checkpatch.html) script:
+Kernel coding style is used. Please familiarize with general kernel
+[submitting patches](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.17/process/submitting-patches.html)
+documentation. Formatting, tags and commit message guidelines applies to **mdadm**.
- It is important to keep same coding style that is why in **mdadm**
- [kernel coding style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html)
- is preferred. ``checkpath --no-tree <patch_file>`` can be used to verify patches.
- Following checkpatch issues can be ignored:
- - New typedefs.
- - comparing with *True/False*.
- - kernel *MAINTAINERS* file warning.
- - *extern* keyword in headers.
+[Checkpatch](https://docs.kernel.org/dev-tools/checkpatch.html) script is run on
+every patch in pull request so be sure that your commits are not generating
+issues. There are some excludes, so the best is to follow github checkpatch action result.
-3. Send patches using ``git send-mail --to=linux-raid@vger.kernel.org <cover-letter> <patch1> <patch2> (...)``
+Pull Request are closed by `Rebase and Merge` option, so it requires to keep every commit
+meaningful. Kernel style requires that. The review changes must be pushed with **push --force**
+to the chosen branch, then Pull Request will be automatically updated.
-# Maintainers
+# Maintainers of mdadm repository on kernel.org
-It is good practice to add **mdadm maintainers** to recipients for patches:
+If there are differences between github and kernel.org, please contact kernel.org mdadm maintainers:
- Jes Sorensen <jes@trained-monkey.org>;
- Mariusz Tkaczyk <mariusz.tkaczyk@linux.intel.com>;
-Adding **MD maintainers** could be reasonable, especially if patches may affect MD driver:
-
-- Song Liu <song@kernel.org>;
-- Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>;
-
-# Reviewers
-
-**mdadm** utility is not part of kernel tree, so there is no certificated *Reviewers* list. Everyone
-can comment on mailing list, last decision (and merging) belongs to maintainers.
-
# Minimal supported kernel version
We do not support kernel versions below **v3.10**. Please be aware that maintainers may remove
