+Please comply with the following rules when hacking on Avahi:
+
+ * When you add a new textual file to the repository please enable SVN
+ keyword expansion for it:
+
+ svn ps svn:keywords Id foo.c
+
+ * Before commiting check with "svn st" that all built files are ignored
+ by svn. To change the list of ignored files use
+
+ svn pe svn:ignore .
+
+ This is similar to the ".cvsignore" file in CVS times.
+
+ * Don't forget to add the autoconf config.h inclusion to all C source files:
+
+ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
+ #include <config.h>
+ #endif
+
+ This needs to be placed in in .c files only. NOT IN HEADER FILES!
+
+ * Don't hardcode any paths in source files. Either use the -D option of gcc
+ for C sources or use "sed" to replace them based on a .in file.
+
+ * Never forget that Avahi should be buildable without DBUS, GTK or python!
+
+ * When you code in C, please compile with the following gcc options from time
+ to time:
+
+ -Wextra
+ -Wfloat-equal
+ -Wmissing-declarations
+ -Wmissing-prototypes
+ -Wstrict-prototypes
+ -Wredundant-decls
+ -Wold-style-definition
+ -Wmissing-noreturn
+ -Wdeclaration-after-statement
+ -Wshadow
+ -Wendif-labels
+ -Wlarger-than-4000
+ -Wpointer-arith
+ -Wbad-function-cast
+ -Wcast-qual
+ -Wcast-align
+ -Wwrite-strings
+ -Winline
+
+ This will show you a bunch of issues which might be problems in your source
+ code. Not all options are available on all GCC versions. Just pass these
+ options in $CFLAGS when running bootstrap.sh:
+
+ CFLAGS="-Wextra ..." ./bootstrap.sh
+
+ * Whenever you add a new Makefile.am, C (.c or .h) source file, shell or
+ python script please add this legal blurb to its header:
+
+ For Makefile.am, python and shell code:
