-
-DISCLAIMER: We realise the code doesn't necessarily follow all the rules.
-This is an attempt to establish a standard coding style for future
-development.
-
-Coding style guidelines
------------------------
-Column width: 79 columns or less within reason.
-
-Indentation: tabs (standard eight column width)
-Please don't add any mode lines. Adjust your editor to display tabs to your
-preferred width. Generally code should work with the standard eight column
-tabs.
-
-No short open tags. '<?'
-Do not end files with a close tag. '?>'
-Try embedding as little XHTML in the PHP as possible.
-Consider creating templates for XHTML.
-
-All markup should conform to XHTML 1.0 Strict requirements.
-You can use http://validator.w3.org to check the markup.
-
-Prevent PHP Notices by using isset() or empty() in conditionals that
-reference $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST variables.
-
-MySQL queries should generally go into functions.
-
-Submitting patches
-------------------
-!!! PLEASE TEST YOUR PATCHES BEFORE SUBMITTING !!!
-Submit uncompressed git-formatted patches to aur-dev@archlinux.org.
-
-You will need to register on the mailing list before submitting:
-https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-dev
-
-Base your patches on the master branch as forward development is done there.
-When writing patches please keep unnecessary changes to a minimum.
-
-Try to keep your commits small and focused.
-Smaller patches are much easier to review and have a better chance of being
-pushed more quickly into the main repo. Smaller commits also makes reviewing
-the commit history and tracking down specific changes much easier.
-
-Try to make your commit messages brief but descriptive.
