Dear libvirt-developer-team,
I want to manage virtual machine of VirtualBox with libvirt. In a test
I found out, that VirtualBox 5 is not support by the current version of
libvirt. For this reason I have added this support in the source code.
Now I want to commit these changes to the libvirt project, but I do not
know, if there are any interests. Who can help me?
We are always interested to receive patches from willing contributors,
especially for drivers like VirtualBox which do not have a large active
set of people contributing.
For first-time contributors to libvirt the best place to start is reading
the "hacking" guidelines:
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html
My specific top points for new contributors people are
- Always make patches against latest git master
- Create a series of patches (commits), each patch focusing on solving
a specific self-contained problem, rather than 1 single huge patch.
- Ensure 'make syntax-check' passes after applying each patch
- Use 'git send-email' to send series of well formatted emails with
each patch (if you've not used it before, play with it by telling
it to send the maill to yourself first :-)
Regards,
Daniel
