What should I do first? + + +Everybody is encouraged to develop software for &tde;. What you +should do first depends strongly on your experience, ⪚ whether you have +already learned C++ or have experience with the &Qt; toolkit and so +on. +To get into &tde; programming, you will need some basic tools: +automake, +autoconf, and +cmake. +An excellent resource for learning &tde; +programming is the &Qt; tutorials. These are installed along with &Qt;. To view them, +open $TQTDIR/doc/html/index.html in +&konqueror; and bookmark the locatio. The tutorials +can be found under "Using Qt". The source code for each lesson can be found in the $TQTDIR/tutorial +directory. +There is one thing everybody interested in +programming for &tde; should do: please subscribe to the developers +mailing list. To subscribe, you have to send an email to +trinity-devel-subscribe@lists.pearsoncomputing.net +with an empty email. +Please read +http://www.trinitydesktop.org/mailinglist.php. Everything +written there applies to the development list as well. + + + + + +How do I get access to &tde; GIT? + + +The &tde; project uses GIT to develop the +core parts of the software. Usually, when you have changed one of the +parts (⪚ fixed a bug), and you want to commit this change, the best +way is to create a patch against a current snapshot and send this +patch to the developer/maintainer of the respective program. +If you are doing this more or less regularly, then contact the developers +to obtain write access to the GIT repository: + +trinity-devel@lists.pearsoncomputing.net. + + + + + +Can I have read-only access to the GIT repository? + + +Yes. Instructions on how to get anonymous, read-only GIT +access are here: +http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Developers/GIT + + + + + + +Are there any GIT mirror sites for &tde;? + + +No, currently there are no anonymous GIT mirror sites for &tde;. + + + + + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.1
