Submit your patch.</a></h1> +<p>Once you're happy with your patch, it's time to prepare a Pull Request.</p> +<p>To prepare a Pull Request, please:</p> +<ol> +<li>verify that <a href="#test-test-test">all the tests pass</a>, including the coding style;</li> +<li><a href="#sign-off">sign off</a> your contribution;</li> +<li><code>git push</code> your commit to your fork of Synapse;</li> +<li>on GitHub, <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request">create the Pull Request</a>;</li> +<li>add a <a href="#changelog">changelog entry</a> and push it to your Pull Request;</li> +<li>for most contributors, that's all - however, if you are a member of the organization <code>matrix-org</code>, on GitHub, please request a review from <code>matrix.org / Synapse Core</code>.</li> +</ol> +<h2 id="changelog"><a class="header" href="#changelog">Changelog</a></h2> +<p>All changes, even minor ones, need a corresponding changelog / newsfragment +entry. These are managed by <a href="https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier">Towncrier</a>.</p> +<p>To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the <code>changelog.d</code> directory named +in the format of <code>PRnumber.type</code>. The type can be one of the following:</p> +<ul> +<li><code>feature</code></li> +<li><code>bugfix</code></li> +<li><code>docker</code> (for updates to the Docker image)</li> +<li><code>doc</code> (for updates to the documentation)</li> +<li><code>removal</code> (also used for deprecations)</li> +<li><code>misc</code> (for internal-only changes)</li> +</ul> +<p>This file will become part of our <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/CHANGES.md">changelog</a> at the next +release, so the content of the file should be a short description of your +change in the same style as the rest of the changelog. The file can contain Markdown +formatting, and should end with a full stop (.) or an exclamation mark (!) for +consistency.</p> +<p>Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value your +contributions and would like to have you shouted out in the release notes!</p> +<p>For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in +<code>changelog.d/1234.bugfix</code>, and contain content like:</p> +<blockquote> +<p>The security levels of Florbs are now validated when received +via the <code>/federation/florb</code> endpoint. Contributed by Jane Matrix.</p> +</blockquote> +<p>If there are multiple pull requests involved in a single bugfix/feature/etc, +then the content for each <code>changelog.d</code> file should be the same. Towncrier will +merge the matching files together into a single changelog entry when we come to +release.</p> +<h3 id="how-do-i-know-what-to-call-the-changelog-file-before-i-create-the-pr"><a class="header" href="#how-do-i-know-what-to-call-the-changelog-file-before-i-create-the-pr">How do I know what to call the changelog file before I create the PR?</a></h3> +<p>Obviously, you don't know if you should call your newsfile +<code>1234.bugfix</code> or <code>5678.bugfix</code> until you create the PR, which leads to a +chicken-and-egg problem.</p> +<p>There are two options for solving this:</p> +<ol> +<li> +<p>Open the PR without a changelog file, see what number you got, and <em>then</em> +add the changelog file to your branch (see <a href="#updating-your-pull-request">Updating your pull +request</a>), or:</p> +</li> +<li> +<p>Look at the <a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues?q=">list of all +issues/PRs</a>, add one to the +highest number you see, and quickly open the PR before somebody else claims +your number.</p> +<p><a href="https://github.com/richvdh/scripts/blob/master/next_github_number.sh">This +script</a> +might be helpful if you find yourself doing this a lot.</p> +</li> +</ol> +<p>Sorry, we know it's a bit fiddly, but it's <em>really</em> helpful for us when we come +to put together a release!</p> +<h3 id="debian-changelog"><a class="header" href="#debian-changelog">Debian changelog</a></h3> +<p>Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in <code>debian</code>) are an +exception to the rule that all changes require a <code>changelog.d</code> file.</p> +<p>In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the +next release. For this, run the following command:</p> +<pre><code>dch +</code></pre> +<p>This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased +version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry. +(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is +corrected for the release.)</p> +<p>If your change affects both the debian packaging <em>and</em> files outside the debian +directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment <em>and</em> an entry in the +debian changelog.
