Notes for iguana maintainers
The iguana version is dynamically determined from the most recent git tag in the commit graph:
This will only work if the source tree includes .git/, with tags and history including the most recent tag.
If the source code was obtained from a release tarball from GitHub, the .git/ directory will be absent and version detection will fail.
Because of the fragility of version detection, we try to keep at least the major version correct in the fallback version number of the version detection implementation.
Keep the Python binding dependency versions reasonably up to date in the corresponding requirements.txt file:
We currently support up to the C++ standard defined in meson.build; if you change this, you will also need to update:
- example build configurations in
examples/build_with_*subdirectories - in the main CI workflow, the standard used for the ROOT build (
CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD) - any mention of the standard in documentation
We maintain a CODEOWNERS file to track who wrote and maintains each file. If you make significant contributions to any part of the code, please update CODEOWNERS. Pull requests that edit a file that you maintain will automatically request for your review, when marked as ready.
We provide a .clang-format file for auto-formatting C++ code. If your system has clang-format,
then meson will create a ninja build target called clang-format, which you may run as
ninja -C <builddir> clang-formatFor semi-automation, the script .github/auto-format.sh will create a new git branch, run clang-format, then commit and push it to the remote origin; the user may then open a pull request to apply the changes. This chore is useful to do before creating a new release.
