===================
open-vm-tools development
===================

open-vm-tools is maintained in a `source tree`_ rather than directly in dist-git
using packit service that provides way to develope using regular source code
structure and provides way to generate SRPM and build using koji service.

Developers deliver all changes to source-git using merge request. Only maintainers
will be pushing changes sent to source-git to dist-git.

Each release in dist-git is tagged in the source repository so you can easily
check out the source tree for a build. The tags are in the format
name-version-release, but note release doesn't contain the dist tag since the
source can be built in different build roots (Fedora, CentOS, etc.)
