- Development Basics
- ==================
- Gluon's source is kept in `git repositories`_ at GitHub.
- .. _git repositories: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon
- Bug Tracker
- -----------
- The `main repo`_ does have issues enabled.
- .. _main repo: https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon
- IRC

- Working with repositories
- -------------------------
- To update the repositories used by Gluon, just adjust the commit IDs in `modules` and
- rerun
- ::
- make update
- `make update` also applies the patches that can be found in the directories found in
- `patches`; the resulting branch will be called `patched`, while the commit specified in `modules`
- can be refered to by the branch `base`.
- After new patches have been commited on top of the `patched` branch (or existing commits
- since the base commit have been edited or removed), the patch directories can be regenerated
- using
- ::
- make update-patches
- If applying a patch fails because you have changed the base commit, the repository will be reset to the old `patched` branch
- and you can try rebasing it onto the new `base` branch yourself and after that call `make update-patches` to fix the problem.
- Always call `make update-patches` after making changes to a module repository as `make update` will overwrite your
- commits, making `git reflog` the only way to recover them!
- Development Guidelines
- ----------------------
- lua should be used instead of sh whenever sensible. The following criteria
- should be considered:
- - Is the script doing more than just executing external commands? if so, use lua
- - Is the script parsing/editing json-data? If so, use lua for speed
