Vendored Gems

This folder is used to store externally pulled dependencies.

Development guidelines

The data stored in this directory should adhere to the following rules:

• MUST: Contain GITLAB.md to indicate where this data was pulled from with a description of what changes were made.
• MUST: Be added to .gitlab/ci/vendored-gems.gitlab-ci.yml.
• MUST NOT: Reference source code from outside of vendor/gems/ or require_relative "../../lib".
• MUST NOT: Require other gems that would result in circular dependencies.
• SHOULD NOT: Be published to RubyGems under our name.
• SHOULD: Be used with gem <name>, path: "vendor/mail-smtp_pool".
• RECOMMENDED: Be added to CODEOWNERS.
• MAY: Reference other Gems in vendor/gems/ with gem <name>, path: "../mail-smtp_pool".
• MAY: Contain our patches to make them work with the GitLab monorepo, for example to continue to support deprecated or unmaintained dependences.
