			3	## Linux
			4
			5	The DCO implementation on Linux is a kernel module called _ovpn_.
			6
			7	_ovpn_ has been merged in the Linux mainline repository and it's part of the
			8	offical kernel release since version 6.16.
			9
			10	For this reason all new features and bug-fixes must follow the Linux kernel
			11	development process and patches must adhere to the Linux kernel CodingStyle.
			12
			13	All patches for _ovpn_ are collected in the `ovpn-net-next` repository and then
			14	submitted to the Linux networking tree by the _ovpn_ maintainer (Antonio Quartulli
			15	at the time of writing).
			16
			17	### Branches
			18
			19	To follow the Linux kernel development process, the `ovpn-net-next` repository
			20	provides 2 branches, namely `main` and `net`, which respectively track the upstream
			21	`net-next` and `net` tree.
			22
			23	Developers willing to send new features should based their changes on the `main` branch,
			24	while for bug fixes they should use `net`.
			25
			26	### Sending patches
			27
			28	New patches for _ovpn_, being them new features or bug-fixes, should be sent to the
			29	openvpn-devel mailing list witht the specific subject `[PATCH ovpn-net-next]`, so that
			30	they can be picked up accordingly.
