   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.

   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.

  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

  45 Some documentation on the realse process can be found at

  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.
