Development¶

Bacula-Web source git repository is publicly available and kindly hosted by GitHub here

Guidance for developers¶

Please find below some guidance for developers

First, please open a bug on GitHub issues (important for me to track changes in the code)

clone the develop git branch and give it a useful name such as

bugfix-xxx to fix a bug

feature-yyy for a new feature

do not create “huge” pull request, I do prefer as small as possible pull request

do not change the code indentation in your commit

I try to apply PSR-12 coding style standard, please sure your commit(s) uses the same standard

I take care of code indentation before each release and it’s easier for me to see the changes you’ve done

put useful comment in the code that explain what you’re trying to do

choose good name for variables

Important: As I don’t want to waste your time, before changing any tool or library, make sure it’s compatible with Bacula-Web license (GPL v2). I’ve seen several people requesting a pull request but the tool license was not compatible with GPL, or even worst, not open source at all.

Thanks for your help.

Shall you have any questions, feel free to get back to me by mail.
