Hacking on desktop-file-utils
=============================

 + The development occurs in Gitlab:

     https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/desktop-file-utils/

   For information on how to access freedesktop.org git please read:

     https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Infrastructure/git

 + Please submit any changes using merge requests in Gitlab.

   If you prefer to submit patches, you can do so by creating a new issue
   and attaching the patch. It should be in unified diff form (the -u option
   to GNU diff).

 + Please try and send a patch against a recent version of this package.
   Patches against git master are most preferable.

 + Don't commit any but the most trivial patches without approval.

 + Exceptions to this are:

   - Translators may commit basic i18n related patches to the build
     setup.
   - Build sheriff are welcome - in accordance with the relevant build
     sheriff constraints.
