11=head2 General Development Information
12
13The general Exim development process and resources are documented in
14the wiki page at L<http://wiki.exim.org/EximDevelopment> - although
15the wiki is likely to be moved and rehashed in the near future.
16
17The sections below this duplicate much of the information form the
18wiki document.

20=head2 Development Repositories
21
22Exim development is kept within a git (L<http://git-scm.com/>)
23repository. The master repository is at L<git://git.exim.org/exim.git>
24with a web interface giving change and source visibility at
25L<http://git.exim.org/exim.git>
26
27There is a secondary repository on github at
28L<https://github.com/Exim/exim> managed by the Exim Organisation
29L<https://github.com/Exim> - however this may currently fall out of
30synchronisation with the main one. We intend to manage this better in
31the future, but it is currently early days for our github repo.
32

35Currently this is all done using Bugzilla at L<http://bugs.exim.org/>
36- please do not use github issue tracking.

48=head2 General Exim Information
49
50The best place to get general information is on the website at
51L<http://www.exim.org/>.
52
53You can find Download locations L<http://www.exim.org/mirrors.html>,
54Mailing list info L<http://www.exim.org/maillist.html> and Full
55Documentation L<http://www.exim.org/docs.html> on that website.

57If you are using a Linux or other freely available Unix like operating
58system it is very likely that your system will have Exim packaged for
59it already. In this case it is probably prudent to use these packages
60unless you have specialised requirements.
61
62In any case you can always ask on the
63Exim Users mailing list L<https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users>
64for further information.
