Contributing to the Qt Port of WebKit
Staikos Computing Services Inc is hosting a public git repository of the QtWebKit port.
Reporting Bugs
Bug report submissions should be submitted to the webkit bugzilla using the 'WebKit Qt' product according to the standard reporting guidelines.
Checking out the sources
Developers who wish to contribute to the port can check out the sources like so
git clone git://code.staikos.net/webkit
After the initial clone you can update your sources with new changes using
cd webkit git pull
Running the tests
To run the tests the normal WebKit layout test infrastructure is used. In addition you need a fixed set of fonts for testing. You can download them using SVN from the Trolltech Labs Subversion repository:
svn co svn://labs.trolltech.com/svn/webkit/testfonts
Then you have to set the WEBKIT_TESTFONTS variable to point to the newly checked-out testfonts directory.
As the last step you can just run
run-webkit-tests
from the WebKitTools/Scripts directory.
Individual tests can be run just directly using for example
run-webkit-tests LayoutTests/fast/forms/plaintext-mode-1.html
For debugging at test it may also be useful to run it directly in DumpRenderTree (with gdb):
WebKitBuild/Debug/bin/DumpRenderTree -v LayoutTests/fast/forms/plaintext-mode-1.html
The expected output can usually be found in the file with the same name as the test itself but with the .expected extension.

The Plan
Communication
We use the regular webkit-dev mailing list to coordinate. You can also find us in the #webkit channel on irc.freenode.net. We have two mailing lists specific to the QtWebKit port
Obtaining Check-In Privileges
Contributors with a proven track record of good patch submissions and that have demonstrated an ability to work well with the community can obtain check-in privileges to the QtWebKit git repository.
The various branches of the git repository mirror the branches in the upstream public webkit svn repository. Patches that land on a branch in the git repository are not automatically pushed to the svn repository. Patches intended for the svn repository must first be reviewed and then committed by developers with sufficient privileges.
Patches that are not specific to the QtWebKit port of the webkit project should not be submitted to the git repository rather they should be contributed directly to the upstream public webkit svn repository.
To obtain check in privileges to the git repository the contributor should send a public ssh key to the administrator of the repository.
