Re: [platform-core-dev] Where is "How to contribute"?

Hi Andrey,

In general, we expect a bug for every change/commit. Check the CONTRIBUTING.md file in our git repositories for some more information, in particular this link: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Workspace/Committer_FAQ. As far as I remember, there are not many significant differences compared to the Platform UI guide, if any at all, so if you follow the Platform UI guide, you should be compliant with Platform Resources recommendations (previously known as Platform Workspace). The rule of thumb is, a bug never hurts but may really help if a trivial change turns out to be not as trivial as expected, so if you or anyone else already spent more too much time thinking whether or not create a bug, my advice is to just create it and don't bother thinking too much :)

Thanks,
Szymon

Hi all,

I was asked if we have a rule for contributing small patches - if this requires a bug or not.

As a committer in j/egit I would say - nope, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/Contributor_Guide#Commit_message_guidelines.
As a committer in Platform UI I would say - it depends, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute#Commit_Message_Conventions
As a new resources committer I tried to find "how to contribute" but did not found any guide.

So questions:
1) Where is "how to contribute" for platform resources?
2) Can we use https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute#Commit_Message_Conventions?
3) Is the change https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/101025/ trivial and requires a bug?

Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov
