Pull requests to the Mozc project are limited to the specific directories.
Files and directories we may accept pull requests:
- files in the top directory
- .github/
- docker/
- docs/
- src/.bazelrc
- src/bazel/
- src/data/
- src/mac/
- src/renderer/qt/
- src/unix/
- src/WORKSPACE.bazel
The limitation is due to the Google corporate policy that requires OSS code to
be place under the third_party directory in the Google internal source
repository [1]. For Mozc's case, files and directories that accept pull requests
need to be placed under third_party/mozc in the internal repository, which is
different from where the internal version of Mozc has been developed.
Unfortunately just moving files and directories becomes a quite complicated project if it involves multiple build dependencies. The above files and directories are where the migrations have been completed so far, and the Mozc team is still working on other files and directories. This is why the above list exists and keeps growing in an incremental manner.
Once external patches to a project have been accepted, that code is no longer exclusively copyrighted by Google. That means that, like any other open source software we use, it is subject to our go/thirdparty policies and must be moved to a third_party directory. This means //third_party if stored in Piper.
