I am not aware of any documentation, but
src/ -- *vanilla* upstream
SPKG.txt -- describes the spkg in wiki format, each new revision
needs an updated changelog entry or an automatic "needs work" from my
end at review time
spkg-install -- the install script
spkg-check -- runs the test suite - this is somewhat optional since
not all spkgs have test suites
patches -- for patches against upstream. Each file
foo.extension needs to have a diff against the original file, i.e.
foo.extension.patch for easy rebases against new upstream
Everything but src must be under revision control - unclean repo in
the spkg leads to automatic "needs work" from my end at review time
Please do not stuff this info randomly into the wiki somewhere, but
let's add this properly to the development manual in the right spot.
Cheers,
Michael
