Getting started

neoxed · 11-09-2006, 02:43 PM

As many of you already know, IniCom has open-sourced ioFTPD under the GPL license. Development will continue as a community effort now, which means we all have to get involved. The "let someone else do all the work" mentality is not acceptable; everyone needs to get their hands dirty.

I'm slowly putting together information for developers and contributors on the wiki. This will include coding guides and things you can do to contribute (there are lots of non-code related things to work on).

For those that want to just dive right in, visit the ticket tracker for a list of outstanding tickets you can work on.

Project:
SourceForge project page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ioftpd
Ticket tracker and wiki: http://ioftpd.alcoholicz.com:8000

Code:
SVN browser: http://ioftpd.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ioftpd/
SVN repository: http://ioftpd.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ioftpd/

We use Subversion as our version control system. For those uncomfortable with command-line clients, consider TortoiseSVN which integrates nicely with Windows Explorer.

Happy hacking.

Nice job Neoxys but how can we compile the svn ? Which software do I need ? Visual Studio ?

Thanks

I'm still working on the building instructions.

Ok, build instructions are up.

Let me know if you have any problems following them, or if there are some things I should elaborate/clarify.

Yes, sorry about that. I did some restructuring of the wiki for the guides I'm working on.

ContribGuide - Information and ideas on you can contribute to ioFTPD
BuildGuide - Instructions for compiling ioFTPD and its library dependencies
DevGuide - Guidelines for developing code for ioFTPD

For the more artistic and creative community members, ioFTPD could use a new logo and motto. Something to replace the current (and dated) one:
