Kernel Contribution

• CMFA uses the kernel from android-real branch under MetaCubeX/Clash.Meta, which is a merge of the main Alpha branch and android-open.
  • If you want to contribute to the kernel, make PRs to Alpha branch of the Meta kernel repository.
  • If you want to contribute Android-specific patches to the kernel, make PRs to android-open branch of the Meta kernel repository.

Project Maintainance

• When MetaCubeX/Clash.Meta kernel is updated to a new version, the Update Dependencies actions in this repo will be triggered automatically.
  • It will pull the new version of the meta kernel, update all the golang dependencies, and create a PR without manual intervention.
  • If there is any compile error in PR, you need to fix it before merging. Alternatively, you may merge the PR directly.
• Manually triggering Build Pre-Release actions will automatically compile and publish a PreRelease version.
• Manually triggering Build Release actions will automatically compile, tag and publish a Release version.
  • There is an option Auto bump project version in trigger widget. If this option is checked and triggered, the versionName and versionCode in build.gradle.kts will be bumped first, then do the common build release process.
  • This option is intended for quickly update and release a new version online, without pulling the repository locally and work around by manual.
