Development Tree ---------------- memtool uses git for version control. The master repository is available at https://github.com/pengutronix/memtool . To submit patches you can use the github stuff, alternatively patches can be sent to oss-tools@pengutronix.de. Build Guideline --------------- memtool uses autotools for building. The generated files are not included in version control, so if you build from there you have to build these first, probably using autoreconf -fi After that (or when using the source from a tar ball) the usual ./configure make sudo make install should build and install memtool. Patch Guideline --------------- memtool is available under GPL version 2. Each patch accepted into the master repository must be certified by its contributors to match this license. To do this you have to sign your patches (or the ones you apply and/or forward). If you can certify the below: Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated in the file; or (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it. (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or the open source license(s) involved. then you just add a line saying Signed-off-by: Random J Developer using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.) at the end of the patch description.
