contributing to libtorrent
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several ways to contribute to libtorrent at various levels. Any help is
|
||
|
|
much appreciated. If you're interested in something libtorrent related that's not
|
||
|
|
enumerated on this page, please contact arvid@rasterbar.com or the `mailing list`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Testing
|
||
|
|
This is not just limited to finding bugs and ways to reproduce crashes, but also
|
||
|
|
sub-optimal behavior is certain scenarios and finding ways to reproduce those. Please
|
||
|
|
report any issue to the bug tracker at `google code`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New features that need testing are streaming (``set_piece_deadline()``), the different
|
||
|
|
choking algorithms (especially the new BitTyrant choker), the disk cache options (such
|
||
|
|
as ``explicit_cache``).

|
2. Documentation
|
||
|
|
Finding typos or outdated sections in the documentation. Contributing documentation
|
||
|
|
based on your own experience and experimentation with the library or with BitTorrent
|
||
|
|
in general. Non-reference documentation is very much welcome as well, higher level
|
||
|
|
descriptions on how to configure libtorrent for various situations for instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Code
|
||
|
|
Contributing code for new features or bug-fixes is highly welcome. If you're interested
|
||
|
|
in adding a feature but not sure where to start, please contact the `mailing list`_ or
|
||
|
|
``#libtorrent`` @ ``irc.freenode.net``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New features might be better support for integrating with other services, new choking
|
||
|
|
algorithms, seeding policies, ports to new platforms etc.
