Following rules apply to making changes in PLD CVS repository. Always build before committing You may be sure you've just corrected some small error and it will not influence the build process... but try it. If you have a large number of files to commit, do it in a single run All commit messages are sent to the commit mailing list, so if there are many messages, all our mailing lists will be stuffed with loads of messages. Also people subscribed to the commit list will get angry. Just do cvs ci. Don't put incomplete translations If English %description contains few lines of text and you want to put just one translated line in another language, just don't do it. It is better to read full English description than few words in mother tongue. Rules regarding commit messages are discussed elsewhere.
