| 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>. |

| 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. |
| 19 | |
| 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. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | =head2 Mailing List |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Development issues are normally discussed on the exim-dev Mailing list |
| 41 | - see L<http://www.exim.org/maillist.html> |
| 42 | |
| 43 | =head2 Exim Release Process |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Some documentation on the realse process can be found at |
| 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. |
