3We welcome pull requests from anyone. The master branch is the primary branch for development, and if you wish to add new functionality, it probably belongs there. We attempt to maintain recent previous branches and welcome bug fixes and backports for those. Currently, the actively maintained branches are sumo, rocko, and pyro. Previously, morty was also a stable branch, but it has not been updated or actively maintained for a while. 3We welcome pull requests from anyone.

5If you are developing with meta-updater, it may be helpful to read the README and other documentation for link:README.adoc[this repo], https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[aktualizr], and the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/updater-repo/[updater-repo], particularly the sections about development and debugging. 5If you are developing with meta-updater, it may be helpful to read the README and other documentation for link:README.adoc[this repo], https://github.com/advancedtelematic/aktualizr[aktualizr], and the https://github.com/advancedtelematic/updater-repo/[updater-repo], particularly the sections about development and debugging.

7== Contributor checklist
8
9* OTA-enabled build succeeds for at least one platform, the resulting image boots, and an update can be installed. This check is absolutely necessary for every pull request unless it only touches documentation.
10* If your change touches platform code (like `classes/sota_<platform>.bbclass`), please check building and updating on this particular platform.
11* oe-selftest succeeds. To test meta-updater, run `oe-selftest -r updater` from a build directory with `MACHINE` set to `qemux86-64`.
12* Updates are forwards- and backwards-compatible. You should be able to update an OTA-enabled build before the change is applied to the version with change applied and vice versa. One should pay double attention to the compatibility when bootloader code is affected.
13* The patch/branch should be based on the latest version of the target branch. This may mean that rebasing is necessary if other PRs are merged before yours is approved.

15We understand that completing all these tasks might be overly tedious due to build times in Yocto. Please add a comment to your PR describing the tests you've done.
