Contributing to Sudo
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Sudo! There are a
|
|
number of way you can help make Sudo better.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
To get an overview of Sudo, see the [README.md](../README.md) file.
|
|
There are multiple ways to contribute, some of which don't require
|
|
writing a single line of code.
|
|
|
|
## Filing bug reports/issues
|
|
|
|
If you believe you have found a bug, you can either file a bug
|
|
report in the sudo bug database, https://bugzilla.sudo.ws/, or open
|
|
a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues),
|
|
whichever you find easier. If you would prefer to use email,
|
|
messages may be sent to the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws mailing
|
|
list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers) (public)
|
|
or to sudo@sudo.ws (private).
|
|
|
|
For sudo's security policy and how to report security issues, see
|
|
[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
|
|
|
|
Please check [TROUBLESHOOTING.md](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) *before*
|
|
submitting a bug report. When reporting bugs, be sure to include
|
|
the version of sudo you are using, the operating system and/or
|
|
distro that is affected, and, if possible, step-by-step instructions
|
|
to reproduce the problem.
|
|
|
|
## Making changes to Sudo
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in making changes to Sudo there are two main
|
|
work flows:
|
|
|
|
* clone the [sudo repo](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo), make
|
|
your changes, and submit a Pull Request (PR).
|
|
|
|
* send a diff with your changes to the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws mailing
|
|
list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers) to start
|
|
a discussion.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo),
|
|
there is also a [mercurial repo](https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo).
|
|
|
|
## sudo-workers mailing list
|
|
|
|
If you would like to discuss your changes before submitting a
|
|
PR, you may do so on the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws mailing
|
|
list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers).
|
|
Otherwise, discussion can simply occur as part of the PR work flow.
|
|
|
|
## Fuzzing
|
|
|
|
Sudo uses the [oss-fuzz project](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz.git)
|
|
to perform fuzzing. Each commit to the _main_ branch will trigger
|
|
a short fuzzing run via the [CIFuzz
|
|
action](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/actions/workflows/main.yml).
|
|
The history of that action shows successful and failed fuzzing runs.
|
|
|
|
Longer fuzzing runs occur using the ClusterFuzz infrastructure. These
|
|
fuzzing runs are longer than those used by CIFuzz. A [public list of
|
|
failures](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=sudoers)
|
|
is available.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see https://www.sudo.ws/security/fuzzing/.
|
|
|
|
## Translations
|
|
|
|
Sudo uses [GNU gettext](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/) for
|
|
its National Language Support (NLS). Strings in sudo and related
|
|
programs are collected in `.pot` files that can be translated into
|
|
multiple languages.
|
|
|
|
Translations for sudo are coordinated by the [Translation
|
|
Project](https://translationproject.org). If you would like to
|
|
contribute to Sudo's translations, please join a translation team
|
|
at the Translation Project instead of contributing a `.po` file
|
|
directly. This will avoid duplicated work if there is already a
|
|
translation in progress. If you would like to become a member of
|
|
a translation team, please follow the [instructions for
|
|
translators](https://translationproject.org/html/translators.html).
|
|
|
|
There are currently two translation domains: [one for the sudo
|
|
front-end](https://translationproject.org/domain/sudo.html) and a
|
|
[separate one for the sudoers module and related
|
|
utilities](https://translationproject.org/domain/sudoers.html).
