Contributing Guidelines¶

See contribution-guide.org for the basics on contributing to an open source project.

Reporting an Issue, or Requesting a Feature¶

Any defects and feature requests are managed using GitHub’s issue tracker. If you never opened an issue on GitHub before, consult the Mastering Issues guide.

Before creating a bug report, please read the Trouble-Shooting Guide and also see contribution-guide.org‘s Submitting Bugs.

Performing a Release¶

Check for and fix pylint violations:
```
paver lint -m
```
Verify debian/changelog for completeness and the correct version, and bump the release date:
```
dch -r
```
Check Travis CI status at https://travis-ci.org/pyroscope/pyrocore
Remove ‘dev’ version tagging from setup.cfg, and perform a release check:
```
sed -i -re 's/^(tag_[a-z ]+=)/##\1/' setup.cfg
paver release
```

Commit and tag the release:

git status  # check all is committed
tag="v$(dpkg-parsechangelog | grep '^Version:' | awk '{print $2}')"
git tag -a "$tag" -m "Release $tag"

Build the final release and upload it to PyPI:

paver dist_clean sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload dist/*.{zip,whl}
