\r
21 The LLVM project's policy towards developers and their contributions.
\r
23 :doc:`SphinxQuickstartTemplate`
\r
24 A template + tutorial for writing new Sphinx documentation. It is meant
\r
25 to be read in source form.
\r

39 Details the LLVM coding standards and provides useful information on writing
\r
42 .. _development-process:
\r
47 Information about LLVM's development process.
\r
61 How-to guide and templates for new projects that *use* the LLVM
\r
62 infrastructure. The templates (directory organization, Makefiles, and test
\r
63 tree) allow the project code to be located outside (or inside) the ``llvm/``
\r
64 tree, while using LLVM header files and libraries.
\r
67 Describes the LLVMBuild organization and files used by LLVM to specify
\r
68 component descriptions.
\r
70 :doc:`HowToReleaseLLVM`
\r
71 This is a guide to preparing LLVM releases. Most developers can ignore it.
\r
73 :doc:`ReleaseProcess`
\r
74 This is a guide to validate a new release, during the release process. Most developers can ignore it.
\r
76 :doc:`HowToAddABuilder`
\r
77 Instructions for adding new builder to LLVM buildbot master.
\r
80 Advice on packaging LLVM into a distribution.
\r
82 :doc:`Release notes for the current release <ReleaseNotes>`
\r
83 This describes new features, known bugs, and other limitations.

\r
93 `Developer's List (llvm-dev)`__
\r
94 This list is for people who want to be included in technical discussions of
\r
95 LLVM. People post to this list when they have questions about writing code
\r
96 for or using the LLVM tools. It is relatively low volume.
\r
98 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-dev
\r
100 `Commits Archive (llvm-commits)`__
\r
101 This list contains all commit messages that are made when LLVM developers
\r
102 commit code changes to the repository. It also serves as a forum for
\r
103 patch review (i.e. send patches here). It is useful for those who want to
\r
104 stay on the bleeding edge of LLVM development. This list is very high
\r
107 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/
\r
109 `Bugs & Patches Archive (llvm-bugs)`__
\r
110 This list gets emailed every time a bug is opened and closed. It is
\r
111 higher volume than the LLVM-dev list.
\r
113 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-bugs/
\r
115 `Test Results Archive (llvm-testresults)`__
\r
116 A message is automatically sent to this list by every active nightly tester
\r
117 when it completes. As such, this list gets email several times each day,
\r
118 making it a high volume list.
\r
120 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-testresults/
\r
122 `LLVM Announcements List (llvm-announce)`__
\r
123 This is a low volume list that provides important announcements regarding
\r
124 LLVM. It gets email about once a month.
\r
126 .. __: http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-announce
\r
131 Users and developers of the LLVM project (including subprojects such as Clang)
\r
132 can be found in #llvm on `irc.oftc.net <irc://irc.oftc.net/llvm>`_.
\r
134 This channel has several bots.
\r
136 * Buildbot reporters
\r
138 * llvmbb - Bot for the main LLVM buildbot master.
\r
139 http://lab.llvm.org:8011/console
\r
140 * smooshlab - Apple's internal buildbot master.
\r
142 * robot - Bugzilla linker. %bug <number>
\r
144 * clang-bot - A `geordi <http://www.eelis.net/geordi/>`_ instance running
\r
145 near-trunk clang instead of gcc.
