- Getting involved
- ================
- Like any open source project, Buildroot has different ways to share
- information in its community and outside.
- One piece of it is the document you are currently reading ;-).
- Each of those ways may interest you if you are looking for some help,
- want to understand Buildroot or contribute to the project.
- Mailing List
- ------------
- Buildroot has a mailing list
- http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot[] for discussion and
- development.
- [[mailing-list-subscribe]]
- Subscribing to the mailing list
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You can subscribe by visiting
- http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot[].
- Only subscribers to the Buildroot mailing list are allowed to post to
- this list.
- The list is also available through _Gmane_ http://gmane.org[], at
- +gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot+
- http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot[].
- Searching the List Archives
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Please search the mailing list archives before asking questions on the
- mailing list, since there is a good chance someone else has asked the
- same question before. Checking the archives is a great way to avoid
- annoying everyone on the list with frequently asked questions...
- IRC
- ---
- The Buildroot IRC is irc://freenode.net/#buildroot[].
- The channel +#buildroot+ is hosted on Freenode
- http://webchat.freenode.net[].
- When asking for help on IRC, share relevant logs or pieces of code
- using a code sharing website.
- [[patchwork]]
- Patchwork
- ---------
- Patchwork is a web-based patch tracking system designed to facilitate
- the contribution and management of contributions to an open-source
- project. Patches that have been sent to a mailing list are \'caught' by
- the system, and appear on a web page. Any comments posted that
- reference the patch are appended to the patch page too. For more
- information on Patchwork see
- http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork[].
- Buildroot's Patchwork website is mainly for use by Buildroot's
- maintainer to ensure patches aren't missed. The website however,
- exposes patches and their corresponding review comments in a clean
- and concise web interface.
- The Buildroot patch management interface is available at
- http://patchwork.buildroot.org[].
- [[apply-patches-patchwork]]
- Applying Patches from Patchwork
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The main use of Buildroot's Patchwork website for a developer is for
- pulling in patches into their local git repository for testing
- purposes.
- When browsing patches in the patchwork management interface, an +mbox+
- link is provided at the top of the page. Copy this link address and
- run the following commands:
- ---------------------
- $ git checkout -b <test-branch-name>
- $ wget -O - <mbox-url> | git am
- ---------------------
- Another option for applying patches is to create a bundle. A bundle is
- a set of patches that you can group together using the patchwork
- interface. Once the bundle is created and the bundle is made public,
- you can copy the +mbox+ link for the bundle and apply the bundle
- using the above commands.
- [[bugtracker]]
- Bugtracker
- ----------
- The Buildroot bugtracker is at https://bugs.busybox.net[].
- To open a bug, see xref:reporting-bugs[].
- Buildroot wikipage
- ------------------
- After the Buildroot developer day on February 3, 2012,
- a page dedicated to Buildroot has been created on
- http://elinux.org[elinux.org].
- This page is reachable at http://elinux.org/Buildroot[].
- Currently, this page is mainly used as a _todo-list_.
