| | = kgio Hacker's Guide
=== Documentation
We use the latest version of {wrongdoc}[http://bogomips.org/wrongdoc] as
much as possible.
Please wrap documentation at 72 characters-per-line or less (long URLs
are exempt) so it is comfortably readable from terminals.
When referencing mailing list posts, use
"http://mid.gmane.org/$MESSAGE_ID" if possible since the Message-ID
remains searchable even if Gmane becomes unavailable.
=== Code Compatibility
We target Ruby 1.8.6+, 1.9.1+ and Rubinius 1.1+ and their
respective C APIs.
All of our C code should be compatible with all reasonably modern Unices
and should run on compilers supported by the versions of Ruby we target.
We will NEVER directly support non-Free platforms under any circumstances.
Our C code follows K&R indentation style (hard tabs, tabs are always 8
characters wide) and NOT the indentation style of Matz Ruby.
== Contributing
Contributions are welcome in the form of patches, pull requests, code
review, testing, documentation, user support or any other feedback. The
{kgio mailing list}[mailto:kgio@librelist.com] is the
central coordination point for all user and developer feedback and bug
reports.
=== Submitting Patches
Follow conventions already established in the code and do not exceed 80
characters per line.
Inline patches (from "git format-patch -M") to the mailing list are
preferred because they allow code review and comments in the reply to
the patch.
We will adhere to mostly the same conventions for patch submissions as
git itself. See the Documentation/SubmittingPatches document
distributed with git on on patch submission guidelines to follow. Just
don't email the git mailing list or maintainer with kgio patches :)
== Running Development Versions
It is easy to install the contents of your git working directory:
Via RubyGems (RubyGems 1.3.5+ recommended for prerelease versions):
gmake install-gem
Without RubyGems (via setup.rb):
gmake install
It is not at all recommended to mix a RubyGems installation with an
installation done without RubyGems, however.
