Practical Rules
|
|
|
|
3. Merge your code upstream
|
|
Initially you basically create a fork
|
|
Development of upstream project continues sometimes at high speed
|
|
If you keep it out of tree for too long time, conflicts arise
|
|
Submissions might get rejected in the first round
|
|
Cleanups needed, in coordination with upstream project
|
|
Code will eventually get merged
|
|
No further maintainance needed for synchronization between your contribution and the ongoing upstream development
|
|
Don't be surprised if your code won't be accepted if you didn't discuss it with maintainers upfront and they don't like your implementation
