Development

Development is very open and we welcome bug reports, suggestions and patches. You can create a new ticket to report a bug or make a suggestion, or browse all active tickets. See the timeline for what happened recently, 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.
