Bug tracking system
===================
Xfce Terminal uses the bug tracking system at https://bugzilla.xfce.org/
hosted and maintained by the Xfce Project.
Patches
=======
Please submit patches to the Xfce bug tracking system. Your patch
should be in unified diff format (the -u option to GNU diff).
Please create and send a patch against a recent version of this package. Patches
against the GIT master branch are most preferable. You can always
access the master branch from
https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/
or clone the repository with GIT
git clone git://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal
Feature requests
================
Please file feature requests to the Xfce bug tracking system
(https://bugzilla.xfce.org, classification Apps, product Xfce4-terminal)
with a Severity of enhancement. Make sure that your feature request
wasn't reported already before; requesting a feature several times
won't increase the chance that it gets added.
Coding Style
============
- GNU coding conventions, with GLib-like extensions, mostly the same
as GTK+.
- Always expand tabs. This differs from the GNU suggestion, but is
necessary!
- Don't follow the philosophy "If it works, it's right" that most
open source projects follow, instead Xfce Terminal's philosophy is
"It doesn't work unless it's right".
