If you do need to use them, try to keep them close to where they're being +used and `#undef` them after. + +## Meson Coding Style + +The Meson style is similar to the C style, but indentations are 2 spaces. diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 23aceab0..bc4f6471 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -7,9 +7,7 @@ This is a WIP: [status](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/wlroots/issues/9) ## Contributing -Development is organized in our [IRC -channel](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sway-devel&uio=d4), #sway-devel on -irc.freenode.net.
