Do not PR

Listed below are all the changes that we will not accept, if submitted as part of a pull request. They are grouped by project and include an explanation. This list will change often, so please check it often.

:warning: If you believe your change is an exception, please discuss it with me on our Discord (in the #development channel) or here (in the #dev category).

  1. Important changes, such as those to the license of the project, should be discussed beforehand and ultimately enacted by me, not anyone else. ↩︎

  2. Every PR—however trivial—costs time to process. This cost is not justified on trivial PRs like these, so I discourage them, unless either:

    • The mistake causes confusion (e.g. an ambiguous misspelling of a package, function, or shell command),
    • The original passage is undecipherable,
    • Or there are more than three separate corrections in your PR.

    I suggest leaving a Github comment on the responsible commit or letting us know on Discord, instead. ↩︎

  3. Our primary documentation is currently undergoing a hefty rewrite. ↩︎

  4. The readme will be rewritten once 3.0 is released, since the project will see a large number of important changes, so I won’t be accepting PRs to this file for the time being. ↩︎

  5. That is to say, I won’t accept PRs that wrap keybinds in (:when (modulep! ...) ...) checks. I explain why in #1312#issuecomment-480650364. ↩︎

  6. The :lang format module is pending a rewrite—where this package will be replaced. Also, later commits of this package have introduced breaking changes that are incompatible with the current module. ↩︎

  7. The latest commit of gnuplot throws a recursive require error when lazy-loaded (see #6080). ↩︎

  • Reformatted list into tables and footnotes.
  • Added modules/**/* to doomemacs/doomemacs DNP list.
  • Moved module DNPs from doomemacs/doomemacs to doomemacs/modules.
  • Added DNP list for doomemacs/contrib-modules project.
  • Closed this thread so I can use its reply section for these changelogs.
  • Added README.md to doomemacs/doomemacs DNP list, because it will be rewritten for 3.0.

Though modules/**/* was already in our DNP list, I allowed module PRs through December-March while I was busy moving to Canada. I’m caught up now, so the DNP is back in effect. TL;DR: Please do not PR changes to our modules until I finished moving modules to their own repo.
