Código de contribuição
To start contributing to Jami, look at the good first issues at: https://git.jami.net/groups/savoirfairelinux/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name[]=good first issue .
Contact the developers directly by adding a comment on the ticket. This will enable the developers to guide you through the process.
A push with a patch to https://review.jami.net will be required to integrate the code to Jami.

Orientações para a mensagem de commit
When submitting a patch to Jami, please follow the following guidelines for the commit messages:
The first line should include the component or scope of the change, followed by a short summary of the change in the imperative mood (e.g., “add new function”, “fix bug”, “update documentation”).
O assunto pode usar a capitalização do componente ou do âmbito, mas o resto do título deve ser em minúsculas.
A segunda linha deve estar em branco.
A terceira linha deve ser o início de uma descrição mais longa da alteração, em frases completas, se necessário.
Regra 50/72: A primeira linha não deve ter mais de 50 caracteres (idealmente) e o resto da mensagem deve ter 72 caracteres por linha. Isto pode ser configurado no seu editor de texto.
If the change is related to a specific issue in the Jami GitLab, include the issue number in the commit message. For example:
GitLab: #123
. If the change is related to multiple issues, list them all. If the change is related to an issue that is not part of the project, use a link to the issue instead.
Modelo para uma mensagem de commit:
<Component/Scope>: <short Summary (imperative, max 50 characters)>
<Detailed description (in present tense) of what was changed and why
it was necessary, wrapped at 72 characters per line to maintain
readability. Include any important details that help others understand
the context of the change. Use this space to explain complex changes
or provide background information.>
[GitLab: #<issuenumber>] or [Link to issue]
Por exemplo:
ConversationView: add a new function
Adds a new function to the ConversationView class that allows
the user to sort conversations by date. This function is necessary
to improve the user experience and make it easier to find specific
conversations.
GitLab: #123
Embalagem Jami
There are two possible ways to package Jami:
Via our internal process to create packages available on the Snap Store or https://dl.jami.net.
Via the packaging process of your favorite GNU/Linux distribution.
Importante
Jami is a quite complex project with a lot of dependencies. This isn’t a quick and easy task and requires maintenance.
Nota
If Jami is packaged using the second option:
For official releases, Jami uses certain Qt versions because Qt is a big dependency. This is to ensure that Jami works with the version we use. Every slight change in the Qt version can break Jami or bring some small unwanted changes. For example, 6.2 → 6.4 broke the video pipeline.
Jami uses a fork of the pjproject, as ICE over TCP is a requirement that is not planned upstream.
libupnp received some patches to ensure that it’s built with the non-blocking API.
FFmpeg has some screen sharing patches.
Visit
daemon/contrib/src
to check how dependencies are built.
For internal packaging, everything is located in extras/packaging/gnu-linux
.
You can follow previous patches to understand your needs. e.g., https://review.jami.net/c/jami-client-qt/+/28036
We use 3 channels:
Internal for testing purposes
Nightly/Beta/Edge for public beta
Stable for public releases
We generally use internal when we test new distributions or when we package a new Qt version. Then we try to generate a nightly per week and one stable per month (if unit tests are green).
Packages are pushed to:
dl.jami.net (2 machines, with an rsync every 15 min)
Ubuntu store (snapcraft.io/jami)
If you want to add a new distribution, you will need to:
Add Dockerfile
Change Makefile
Update packaging script
Cross fingers
Test the package in a VM
Aviso
Chromium is a hard part to build. Three common problems encountered are:
O CCG é demasiado recente:
Generally the fix consist of importing patches from Chromium’s gerrit to fix GCC issues
O Python é demasiado recente:
Geralmente, a correção consiste em utilizar o PyEnv para obter um ambiente virtual com a versão correta do Python
Dependências em falta:
Durante o passo de configuração do Qt, a lista de componentes construídos é listada e as dependências em falta são listadas. Geralmente, a instalação de um pacote ou a atualização do node.js resolve o problema
Note-se que, se o Qt for gerado sem o chromium, temos de remover o pacote da cache das máquinas de construção para voltar a gerar um novo pacote (/var/cache/jami)
If you want to remove a distribution:
If a distribution is EOL OR if there are 2 more recent LTS, we can remove the distribution (e.g., Ubuntu 20, 22, 24—remove Ubuntu 20) by removing related files and checks.
Nota
The next big changes required are:
Use CMake instead of autotools for jami-daemon.
Use Ubuntu Core 22 (UC22) instead of core20 in snap.
Flatpak/AppImage support? This may simplify custom RPM/Debian packaging.
Only generate one unified Debian file per distribution. Same for RPMs.
Use Jenkinsfile to generate packages for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows at the same time if possible.
For internal information (such as how to publish to stores, cf. internal wiki).
Contribuindo para esta documentação
As contribuições para estes documentos são sempre bem-vindas e apreciadas, desde pequenas correções até novos capítulos.
This page will walk through the steps to create a new page or submit a correction. The patch review process is the same as for any other Jami project, so we will not explain every command.

Dependências
Git is required to be installed and configured to use your SSH keypair and an account on the Jami Gerrit, where you would send your patches for review. If you need help with this, see the beginning of our patch submission guide (TODO).
If you want to preview your changes locally in your web browser, you need to install:
$ pip install --upgrade sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme myst_parser
If you want to use the auto-build and auto-refresh feature, also install sphinx-autobuild.
$ pip install --upgrade sphinx-autobuild
Clonagem do repositório
Clone o repositório e configure as configurações de empurrão assim:
$ git clone "ssh://USERNAME@review.jami.net:29420/jami-docs.git"
$ cd jami-docs
$ git config remote.origin.push HEAD:refs/for/master
You may want to check out a new branch for each contribution/change before you make any change to the files so that you could easily git pull
any future changes from upstream into your main local branch:
$ git checkout -b my-example-change

A salvar o seu trabalho
$ git add source/file/you/edited.md
$ git commit
Refer to the commit message guidelines for how to write a good commit message.
A submissão de uma alteração
The first time you try to push your changes, Gerrit will complain that you don’t have a Change-Id in your commit, and provide an scp
command to install the commit hook.
After running the command, you should be able to recommit and push your change:
$ git commit --amend --no-edit
$ git push
Modificar o seu trabalho
A reviewer may ask you to make changes to your patch before merging it.
This is no problem!
Simply make the changes, git add
them, and run git commit --amend
to modify the patch.
Nota
The --amend
switch, which is required to tell Git to amend/tweak the existing newest commit rather than making a new commit.
This is the workflow for updating a proposed change when using Gerrit.
Adicionar uma página
If you decide to add a whole new page to the documentation, you must also add it to the toctree
directive of that chapter.
For instance, if you added a new page called hosting-jams-on-aws-guide.md
to the Jami user manual in the user
folder, you should add it in the toctree
directive of user/index.md
, without the file extension:
```{toctree} :maxdepth: 1 bug-report-guide hosting-jams-on-aws-guide ```
