1 | =head1 Exim Development Repository |
2 | ||
3 | This is the Exim (Mail Transport Agent) Development Repository. Please | |
4 | read the following information if you wish to use or contribute to the | |
5 | Exim development process - this is to prevent your or our time being | |
6 | unnecessarily wasted. | |
7 | ||
8 | If you just want to use, build or get information on Exim then have a | |
9 | look at the pointers further down this file at L<General Exim Information>. | |
10 | ||
11 | =head2 General Development Information | |
12 | ||
13 | The general Exim development process and resources are documented in | |
14 | the wiki page at L<http://wiki.exim.org/EximDevelopment> - although | |
15 | the wiki is likely to be moved and rehashed in the near future. | |
16 | ||
17 | The sections below this duplicate much of the information form the | |
18 | wiki document. | |

20 | =head2 Development Repositories | |
21 | ||
22 | Exim development is kept within a git (L<http://git-scm.com/>) | |
23 | repository. The master repository is at L<git://git.exim.org/exim.git> | |
24 | with a web interface giving change and source visibility at | |
25 | L<http://git.exim.org/exim.git> | |
26 | ||
27 | There is a secondary repository on github at | |
28 | L<https://github.com/Exim/exim> managed by the Exim Organisation | |
29 | L<https://github.com/Exim> - however this may currently fall out of | |
30 | synchronisation with the main one. We intend to manage this better in | |
31 | the future, but it is currently early days for our github repo. | |
32 | ||
33 | =head2 Bug Tracking | |
34 | ||
35 | Currently this is all done using Bugzilla at L<http://bugs.exim.org/> | |
36 | - please do not use github issue tracking. | |

38 | =head2 Mailing List | |
39 | ||
0dd1f8f4 | 40 | Development issues are normally discussed on the exim-dev mailing list |
1e0dc8a5 NM |
41 | - see L<http://www.exim.org/maillist.html> |

43 | =head2 Exim Release Process | |
44 | ||
0dd1f8f4 | 45 | Some documentation on the release process can be found at |
1e0dc8a5 NM |
46 | L<http://wiki.exim.org/EximRelease>. |
47 | ||
48 | =head2 General Exim Information | |
49 | ||
50 | The best place to get general information is on the website at | |
51 | L<http://www.exim.org/>. | |
52 | ||
53 | You can find Download locations L<http://www.exim.org/mirrors.html>, | |
54 | Mailing list info L<http://www.exim.org/maillist.html> and Full | |
55 | Documentation L<http://www.exim.org/docs.html> on that website. | |
56 | ||
57 | If you are using a Linux or other freely available Unix like operating | |
58 | system it is very likely that your system will have Exim packaged for | |
59 | it already. In this case it is probably prudent to use these packages | |
60 | unless you have specialised requirements. | |
61 | ||
62 | In any case you can always ask on the | |
63 | Exim Users mailing list L<https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users> | |
64 | for further information. | |
