Contributing to pacaptr

Warning This project is still slowly evolving, and the conventions and the APIs could be changed. Some discussions concerning certain crucial design choices haven't been made yet.

Welcome to pacaptr!

Coding Conventions

• Rust code: Use cargo +nightly fmt and stick with rustfmt.toml. Follow cargo clippy lints if possible.
• Commit message: See Conventional Commits.

API Docs

The API docs is a good starting point if you want to dive a little deeper into this project. You can get it in one of the following ways:

• See the precompiled version on GitHub Pages.

• Compile from source:

  cargo doc --document-private-items --open
  

Making a New Release

We currently make a new release by pushing a single new version tag to master, which will make the CI generate a new GitHub release together with the necessary artifacts.

To make this automatic (and to push the new version to crates.io at the same time), it is recommended to use cargo-release:

• Perform a dry run to see if everything is OK¹:

  cargo release --workspace patch
  

• Add -x to actually publish the new version.

Footnotes
