Development

See the timeline for what happened recently.

You can create a new ticket to report a bug or make a suggestion, or browse all active tickets.

Development is very open and we welcome bug reports, suggestions and patches. Do not hesitate to have a look at the TODO list or let us know about your own projects.

Despite libcaca’s limited audience, we target high code quality. Patches will be mercilessly butchered until they comply with our coding style guidelines.

IRC

Discussions are happening on the Freenode network’s #libcaca channel. The developers can be reached there most of the time.

Subversion

libcaca development is managed using Subversion. Currently available repositories are:

• libcaca and libcucul -- svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/libcaca
• TOIlet -- svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/toilet
• cacatris -- svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/cacatris
• ttyvaders -- svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/ttyvaders
• neercs -- svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/neercs

For instance, to retrieve the main libcaca trunk, use this command:

svn co svn://svn.zoy.org/libcaca/libcaca/trunk libcaca-trunk

The repositories can be browsed using the web-based SVN browser.

Mailing-lists

There are two mailing-list for the project. The first one is ​libcaca@lists.zoy.org and is a single mailing-list for general discussion, bug reporting, development coordination and side projects. You are encouraged to subscribe in order to post. The second list is ​libcaca-svn@lists.zoy.org and only hosts the SVN commit messages.

The libcaca mailing-lists are managed by Ecartis. To subscribe, send an email to ecartis@, lists.zoy.org containing the words “subscribe libcaca”. To unsubscribe, use “unsubscribe libcaca”. Same goes for the libcaca-svn list.

The mailing-list archives are available on the web:

• libcaca archives
• libcaca-svn archives
