Notes

Notes for implementers

If you are interested in incorporating this software into your project, here's what you need to know:

There have been no implementation notes added yet. Sorry about that. Feel free to ask questions.

TODO: add notes about installation.

Notes for developers

If you're interested in contributing to this software, here's what you need to know:

Send your patch to jj5@jj5.net along with a statement that you are willing to be listed in the contributors section of the documentation and willing to license your contribution under the license.

For security reasons write access to jjrepo is only available for John. It's basically my private repository. If you'd like to hack on projects where you do have checkin permissions on the Subversion repository, along with infrastructure for running your code, then why not head over to ProgClub and register?

Configuring a development environment

TODO: add notes about how to configure a development environment.

Releasing a stable version

Releases of {project name} can only be done by John. To do a release run the jjrepo-release script from either empathy or orac. E.g.:

jj5@orac:~$ jjrepo-release {project name}

If you've noticed that there is code in trunk that hasn't been released into tags/latest and you'd like John to do a release for you then feel free to drop him a line.
