-Tips for hacking on libvirt-dbus
-================================
-
-Here is where to get code:
-
-```
-$ git clone https://libvirt.org/git/libvirt-dbus.git
-```
-
-Alternatively you can use one of the mirrors:
-
-[https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus](https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus)
-[https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus](https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-dbus)
-
-
-Running from git repository
----------------------------
-
-  * The first step is to run meson to create build directory:
-
-    ```
-    meson build
-    ```
-
-    Now you can compile libvirt-dbus:
-
-    ```
-    ninja -C build
-    ```
-
-
-  * Before posting a patch, you should run tests:
-
-    ```
-    ninja -C build test
-    ```
-
-    The test tool requires python3, python3-pytest, python3-dbus and flake8.
-
-    It is possible to run only specific test using:
-
-    ```
-    meson test -C build $test-name
-    ```
-
-    or a group of tests:
-
-    ```
-    meson test -C build --suite $label
-    ```
-
-    For more information see [https://mesonbuild.com/Unit-tests.html#testing-tool](https://mesonbuild.com/Unit-tests.html#testing-tool).
-
-
-  * To run libvirt-dbus directly from the build dir without installing it
-    use the run script:
-
-    ```
-    ./run ./src/libvirt-dbus
-    ```
-
-
-Coding style rules
-------------------
-
-  * Opening & closing braces for functions should be at start of line:
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar)
-    {
-        ...
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar) {
-        ...
-    }
-    ```
-
-  * Opening brace for if/while/for loops should be at the end of line:
-
-    ```
-    if (foo) {
-        bar;
-        wizz;
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    if (foo)
-    {
-        bar;
-        wizz;
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Rationale: putting every if/while/for opening brace on a new line
-    expands function length too much.
-
-
-  * If a brace needs to be used for one clause in an if/else statement,
-    it should be used for both clauses, even if the other clauses are
-    only single statements. eg:
-
-    ```
-    if (foo) {
-        bar;
-        wizz;
-    } else {
-        eek;
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    if (foo) {
-        bar;
-        wizz;
-    } else
-        eek;
-    ```
-
-
-  * Function parameter attribute annotations should follow the parameter
-    name, eg:
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar G_GNUC_UNUSED)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(G_GNUC_UNUSED int bar)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Rationale: Adding / removing G_GNUC_UNUSED  should not cause the
-    rest of the line to move around since that obscures diffs.
-
-
-  * There should be no space between function names & open brackets eg:
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo (int bar)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-
-  * To keep lines under 80 characters (where practical), multiple parameters
-    should be on new lines. Do not attempt to line up parameters vertically eg:
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar,
-        unsigned long wizz)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int bar, unsigned long wizz)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Not
-
-    ```
-    int
-    foo(int           bar,
-        unsigned long wizz)
-    {
-    }
-    ```
-
-    Rationale: attempting vertical alignment causes bigger diffs when
-    modifying code if type names change causing whitespace re-alignment.
