Contributing to GNU Stow

Development of Stow, and GNU in general, is a volunteer effort, and you can contribute. If you'd like to get involved, it's a good idea to join the stow-devel mailing list.

Bug reporting

Please follow the procedure described in the "Reporting Bugs" section of the manual.

Development

For development sources and other information, please see the Stow project page at savannah.gnu.org.

There is also a stow-devel mailing list (see Mailing lists).

Testing


The test suite can be found in the [`t/`](t/) subdirectory.  You can
run the test suite via:

    make check

Individual tests can be run as follows:

    perl -It t/stow.t

or with a given debugging verbosity corresponding to the `-v` / `--verbose`
command-line option:

    TEST_VERBOSE=4 perl -It t/stow.t

Translating Stow
----------------

Stow is not currently multi-lingual, but patches would be very
gratefully accepted. Please e-mail
[stow-devel](https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stow-devel) if you
intend to work on this.

Maintainers
-----------

Stow is currently being maintained by Adam Spiers.  Please use [the
