Implement Features¶

Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with “enhancement” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation¶

Podman Custodian could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official Podman Custodian docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback¶

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/Iolaum/podcust/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Explain in detail how it would work.
Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up podcust for local development.

Fork the podcust repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally.

$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/podcust.git
$ cd podcust

From the root of the repository create a python virtual environment to use for our project. Install the project in editable mode along with developer dependencies.
```
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -e .[dev]
```
Create a branch for local development.
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass code quality checks and tests.
```
$ make code
$ make test
```

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub.

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
The pull request should work for Python 3.9, for PyPy and Fedora. Check the relevant GitHub Actions page and make sure that the tests pass.

Tips¶

To run a subset of tests:

$ pytest tests.test_podcust

Developing on Fedora Silverblue¶

If developing on Fedora Silverblue the following set up is suggested:

# Crete new toolbox
$ toolbox create dev
# Add toolbox entry to /etc/hosts to avoid
# warning: Could not canonicalize hostname: toolbox
$ sudo dnf install nano
$ sudo nano /etc/hosts
# 127.0.0.1 ... toolbox
$ toolbox enter dev
# Following commands are inside the toolbox
$ cd $source_code_root_repository
$ sudo dnf install make fedpkg python3-wheel python3-devel python3-sphinx python3-click hadolint
$ sudo dnf install python3-black python3-coverage python3-flake8 python3-mypy python3-pytest twine yamllint python3-check-manifest python3-pytest-runner
$ make code
$ make test
$ make fedpkg

Deploying¶

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
# Auto committing has been disabled, update documentation and commit and tag manually!
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
