LGUG2Z 426409fcfc chore(repo): a workspace of two crates
komorebi for KDE is built up as a Cargo workspace with one crate per concern,
the way komorebi and komorebi for Mac are. The first two crates are the
`komorebi` daemon, which does nothing yet but report its version, and `version`,
which owns the string every binary of the workspace reports.

`version` reads the commit from git when HEAD is on a branch, and from
COMMIT_HASH otherwise. A jj workspace leaves HEAD detached, so
`.cargo/config.toml` defaults the variable to `unknown` (nix will set the real
commit), and a plain `cargo build` in a jj checkout compiles.

The tooling files come from komorebi for Mac: the licence, deny.toml (trimmed to
the licences in use), rustfmt.toml and the toolchain file. `just check` runs the
formatting check, clippy and rustdoc with warnings denied, and the tests.
rustfmt.toml uses an unstable option, so formatting needs a nightly rustfmt. The
`rg` calls in `just lint` name a path because rg reads stdin when it is given
none and stdin is not a terminal.

The README and CONTRIBUTING.md say how to run, check and commit.

Contributing to the Project

The project is a collection of contributions from both the project leaders and community members. There are many ways to contribute, this can include content in the project repositories, as well as contributing in public and private conversation, assisting users, writing blog posts, and many other ways.

How contributions are made

Contributions to the project primarily happen in the project source repositories, but may also occur in other places, such as discussion forums and public and private discourse.

Contributing content to the Project

In order for the project leaders to manage sustained progress toward the project goals and maintain project velocity, focus and quality, the project may adjust the license terms over time.

Content contributed to the project must therefore be provided under sufficiently liberal terms to allow these operations to proceed unimpeded. As such contributions are accepted with the following understanding:

  • Contributed content is licensed under the terms of the 0-BSD license
  • Contributors accept the terms of the project license at the time of contribution

By making a contribution, you accept both the current project license terms, and that all contributions that you have made are provided under the terms of the 0-BSD license.

Working on the code

just check runs everything a change has to pass before it is pushed: the formatting check, clippy with warnings denied, the tests, and rustdoc with warnings denied. Formatting needs a nightly rustfmt, because rustfmt.toml uses an unstable option; just fmt applies it.

Commits

Commit messages follow the Conventional Commits specification: type(scope): description. The scope is the Rust module the change is in (wm, kwin, layouts), repo for repository files and markdown, nix for the flake and github for workflows. Every line of a message, the header included, is at most 80 columns, and the body says why the change is made.

Documentation lands in the commit that changes the behavior it describes, not in a later one.
