mrtg-contrib - Contribution Guidelines for MRTG
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
If you have written an extension to mrtg or created a bug fix, please
consider contributing it to the project. As I get quite a number of
contributions every week, here are a few guidelines which explain how
to contribute so that I can use the contribution without too much
additional work.

MRTG messages have been translated to a number of languages but there
are still many which have not been covered yet. If you want to add
yours, go into the _m_r_t_g_-_2_._1_7_._3_/_t_r_a_n_s_l_a_t_e directory and follow the
instructions given in the _R_E_A_D_M_E file.
PPaattcchheess
When you have created your modification or extension to mrtg and want
to submit it to me, please crate a patch for the files which you have
modified. Do not send entire files unless they are new.
To create a patch, get hold of a copy of GNU diff (Many Unix systems
will have this installed already. In the NT world you might want to get
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ to get all the nice GNU tools
available.) and type
diff --unified --ignore-space-change old-file new-file > simple.patch
or if you have modified several files do
diff --recursive --unified --ignore-space-change old-dir/ new-dir/ >long.patch

All documentation of mrtg is done with the perl PPOODD system. If you want
to learn about it, type
perldoc perlpod
and read the instructions. If you have bugfixes or additions to the
existing documents, make sure you modify the PPOODD files and not the html
or txt versions.
I take documentation very seriously. Whenever you create a new feature
for mrtg which you want to get included in the official release, your
patch must also contain modifications for the relevant ppoodd file in the
_d_o_c tree or for the documentation sections of _c_f_g_m_a_k_e_r and _i_n_d_e_x_m_a_k_e_r.
