cmtp-responder forks from the Tizen's mtp-responder and belongs to a general class of software known as "mtp responders". Any mtp responder's task is to provide device side implementation of the MTP protocol and cmtp-responder is no different.

While we appreciate the work Tizen has put into creating mtp-responder, we must acknowledge that the original Tizen's code is hard to reuse, because it depends on a lot of Tizen-specific libraries. We forked it to make cmtp-responder depend only on generic libraries. This of course implies removing all the Tizen-specific features.

The purpose of cmtp-responder is to provide a reusable minimal MTP implementation for everyone to reuse. The long-term goal is to make this project the implementation of choice for a variety of projects, including commercial products, and make this project as feature-complete as possible while maintaining generality and minimal dependencies.

These are experimental, and might turn out not-matching real life!

Commit messages shall start with a capital letter, be short and to the point, and shall not end with a fullstop.

Commit messages shall be prefixed with a component name and a colon, e.g.:

transport: The remainder of the commit message ....

A component consists of both an src directory and its counterpart include subdirectory, e.g.:

include/transport/*

and

src/transport/*

together constitute the "transport" component.

If a change spans across multiple components, think again whether it has to and restructure your commits if possible.

If a change must span across multiple components, then start your message with "major rework:".

If a change refers to the project build files (e.g. CMakeLists.txt), then use the name "build:".
