= Welcome to Project-Builder Wiki = = Design Ideas around the project-builder.org project = Since 2005 that I took over the maintenance of the [http://www.mondorescue.org MondoRescue] project, I have passed time developing code on the periphery of the project to allow me to easily build packages from Subversion, deliver them, manage them, ... I met a lot of Open Source project which are suffering from the same barrier for their adoption as mondo suffered in the past: without native packaging for your distribution you have much less people testing your software, trying it, less chance to be integrated in distributions, ... Then I wanted to also work on another project called [ http://trac.dploy.org dploy.org] which uses the great [http://www.LinuxCOE.org LinuxCOE]. However that LinuxCOE project had exactly the same issue as previously mentioned, no packaging, on install from CVS, so smaller community. And in order for me to put something on a prouction server, I want it packaged :-) So I decided it could be a good idea to reuse the scripts made for mondo to package LinuxCOE. However, they were too specific, even if the ideas could be reused (that was my 3rd generation of build scripts, so ideas were more advanced than the code). = Technical ideas around the project-builder.org (aka pb) project = * use perl. It makes coding so more efficient, powerful and also fun * use AppConfig. A lot of information is managed under a configuration file format and AppConfig makes it tivial to handle them. == Concerning trac == * TracGuide -- Built-in Documentation * [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/ The Trac project] -- Trac Open Source Project * [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracFaq Trac FAQ] -- Frequently Asked Questions * TracSupport -- Trac Support For a complete list of local wiki pages, see TitleIndex.
