Reporting an issue

This project uses GitHub issues to manage the issues. Open an issue directly in GitHub.

If you believe you found a bug, and it's likely possible, please indicate a way to reproduce it, what you are seeing and what you would expect to see. Don't forget to indicate your pgmoneta version.

Setup your build environment

You can use the follow command, if you are using a Fedora based platform:

dnf install git gcc clang clang-analyzer cmake make libev libev-devel openssl openssl-devel systemd systemd-devel zlib zlib-devel libzstd libzstd-devel lz4 lz4-devel libssh libssh-devel python3-docutils libatomic libcurl libcurl-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel libarchive libarchive-devel

in order to get the necessary dependencies.

Building the main branch

To build the main branch:

git clone https://github.com/pgmoneta/pgmoneta.git
cd pgmoneta
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
make
cd src
cp ../../doc/etc/*.conf .
./pgmoneta -c pgmoneta.conf -u pgmoneta_users.conf

and you will have a running instance after you have created the pgmoneta_users.conf file.

Code reviews

GitHub pull requests can be reviewed by all such that input can be given to the author(s).

See GitHub Pull Request Review Process for more information.

Coding Guidelines

  • Discuss the feature
  • Do development
    • Follow the code style
  • Commits should be atomic and semantic. Therefore, squash your pull request before submission and keep it rebased until merged
    • If your feature has independent parts submit those as separate pull requests

Discuss a Feature

You can discuss bug reports, enhancements and features in our forum.

Once there is an agreement on the development plan you can open an issue that will used for reference in the pull request.

Development

You can follow this workflow for your development.

Add your repository

git clone [email protected]:yourname/pgmoneta.git
cd pgmoneta
git remote add upstream https://github.com/pgmoneta/pgmoneta.git

Create a work branch

git checkout -b mywork main

During development

git commit -a -m "[#issue] My feature"
git push -f origin mywork

If you have more commits then squash them

git rebase -i HEAD~2
git push -f origin mywork

If the main branch changes then

git fetch upstream
git rebase -i upstream/main
git push -f origin mywork

as all pull requests should be squashed and rebased.

In your first pull request you need to add yourself to the

AUTHORS
doc/manual/97-acknowledgement.md
doc/manual/advanced/97-acknowledgement.md

files.

Code Style

Please, follow the coding style of the project.

You can use the uncrustify tool to help with the formatting, by running

./uncrustify.sh

and verify the changes.
