Contributing to Conan Center Index

The following summarizes the process for contributing to the CCI (Conan Center Index) project.

Contents

Community

ConanCenterIndex is an Open Source MIT licensed project; it is developed by the Conan maintainers and a great community of contributors.

Dev-flow & Pull Requests

CCI follows the "GitFlow" branching model. Issues are triaged and categorized mainly by type (package request, bug...) and priority (high, medium...) using GitHub labels.

To contribute follow the next steps:

  1. Comment in the corresponding issue that you want to contribute the package/fix proposed. If there is no open issue, we strongly suggest opening one to gather feedback.
  2. Make sure to request access and be aware there is a contributor licenses agreement.
  3. Get setup by following the Developing Recipes guide and learn the basic commands.
  4. Check the How To Add Packages page for the break down of ConanCenterIndex specific conventions and practices.
  5. In your fork create a package/xxx branch from the master branch and develop your fix/packages as discussed in previous step.
  6. Submit a pull request once you are ready. This can be when you got everything working or even if you need help. Add the text to the issue body (besides other comments): "fixes #IssueNumber" in the body of the PR, referring to the issue of step 1.

The Conan Community works hard to review all the pull requests and provide assistance where need. The Review Process is partially automated with the help of @conan-center-index-bot 🚀

Issues

If you think you found a bug in CCI or in a recipe, open an issue indicating the following:

  • Explain the Conan version, Operating System, compiler and any other tool that could be related to the issue.
  • Explain, as detailed as possible, how to reproduce the issue. Use git repository to contain code/recipes to reproduce issues, or a snippet.
  • Include the expected behavior as well as what actually happened.
  • Provide output captures (as text).
  • Feel free to attach a screenshot or video illustrating the issue if you think it will be helpful.

For any suggestion, feature request or question open an issue indicating the following:

  • Questions and support requests are always welcome.
  • Use the [question] or [suggestion] tags in the title (provided by github issues templates).
  • Try to explain the motivation, what are you trying to do, what is the pain it tries to solve.
  • What do you expect from CCI.

We use the following tags to control the status of the issues and pull requests, you can learn more in Labels document which details the important one and their roles.
