TMDA Bugs & Patches

Reporting bugs and contributing code are both encouraged, but to make things easier on the developers, please adhere to the following guidelines.

Bug reports and patch submissions for TMDA 1.0.x should be sent to the tmda-users mailing list. You do not need to be subscribed to post a message there.

Reporting Bugs:

In your report, please include at least the following information:
  • Your TMDA version, your Python version, and your operating system (i.e, tmda-keygen -V).
  • Your type of TMDA installation (tarball, Linux RPM, FreeBSD port, etc.).
  • Which MTA you are running (qmail, Postfix, etc.)
  • If you are running TMDA from procmail or maildrop.
  • Any other information you think might be relevant.

Submitting Patches:

  • Please make sure your patch works with the earliest supported version of Python, which is Python 2.1.x.

  • As far as preferred coding style, I try to follow the general Python Style Guide. Strict coherence to this is not necessary when working on TMDA, but I'd prefer that you match the existing coding style whenever you can. In particular, use the existing indentation style in the file(s) you are editing (Emacs handles this for you automatically). Also, please limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters.

  • Emailed patches should preferably be sent in MIME format, with the actual patch included as an attachment.

  • When making patches with diff, please use the -u option, or if your diff doesn't support it, -c. Also, it is helpful if you create the patch from the top level of the TMDA source directory.
If you wish, accompany your patch with an update to the apropriate ChangeLog file. If you use Emacs, you can use the M-x add-change-log-entry command to do this automatically. Guidelines for writing ChangeLog entries are governed by the GNU coding standards. See the Change Logs section for details.
