The guidelines are: 1. Methods in HEAD (upstream) completely removed from Bitmask should be removed again (e.g. askPW) 2. Sometimes, Dashboard.class is in Bitmask while in ics-openvpn it is replaced by MainActivity.class and other classes. Keep removing them to keep Dashboard.class in there. 3. Some resources files are stripped from several entries. Remove them if possible (check the code we compile is not using anything else new). - ./gradlew updateIcsOpenVpn - -## Acknowledgements +## Acknowledgments This project bases its work in [ics-openvpn project](https://code.google.com/p/ics-openvpn/). -## Contributing +## Contributing -Please fork this repository and contribute back using -[pull requests](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_android/pulls). +Please fork this repository and contribute back using [pull requests](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_android/pulls).
