| All contributions to QEMU are '''sent as patches''' to the qemu-devel [[MailingLists|mailing list]]. Patch contributions should not be posted on the bug tracker, posted on forums, or externally hosted and linked to.
| | Moved at https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/submitting-a-patch.html |
| | |
| '''Send patches inline''' so they are easy to reply to with review comments. Do not put patches in attachments.
| |
| | |
| '''Patch emails must include a Signed-off-by: line'''. For more information see [http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;h=689e2371095cc5dfea9927120009341f369159aa;hb=f6f94e2ab1b33f0082ac22d71f66385a60d8157f#l297 SubmittingPatches 1.12].

| |
| * [http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/plain/HACKING QEMU Coding Guidelines]
