| 5 | <p>This page contains information of use to developers, such as how the |
|---|
| 6 | project infrastructure works, and where to find things.</p> |

| 8 | <p>The project is hosted on buildd.emdebian.org. The DNS is managed by SPI |
|---|
| 9 | Inc. along with the other Debian domains. You need a login to make changes |
|---|
| 10 | on the buildd machine. Send <a href="mailto:wookey@debian.org">Wookey</a> an |
|---|
| 11 | ssh key for logging in and a preferred login name to get registered.</p> |

| 13 | <p>Tasks within Emdebian are generated, discussed, patched, fixed |
|---|
| 14 | and processed on the <a href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/">Debian |
|---|
| 15 | Bug Tracking System</a>.</p> |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | <p>We also use the <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/EmDebian">debian wiki</a> |
|---|
| 18 | for recording useful info. Generally useful info is slowly |
|---|
| 19 | migrated to the main website.</p> |

| 21 | <p>The Mailing list is <a |
|---|
| 22 | href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/">debian-embedded@lists.debian.org</a>. |

| 23 | See <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded/">mailing list</a>. |

| 24 | </a> and <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-embedded">archives</a> for details. |
|---|
| 25 | This is hosted by the Debian project.</p> |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | <p>There is also an irc channel #emdebian on the <a href="irc://irc.debian.org">irc.debian.org</a> |
|---|
| 28 | server. This is heavily used for day-to-day discussion and admin.</p> |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | <p>The server has been owned and operated by Allen Curtis and was located |
|---|
| 31 | in the US. Many thanks to Allen for this facility. </p> |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | <p>Currently, the server is on a new colo-located machine donated by |
|---|
| 34 | Simon Richter and <a href="http://www.kleinhenz.com/">Kleinhenz Elektronik</a>. |
|---|
| 35 | Thanks very much to him for sorting this out and doing the initial server setup. |
|---|
| 36 | It hosts the website, subversion code, repository and toolchain build system.</p> |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | <p>All Embedded Debian's tools are in <a href="docs/svn.html">svn</a> - |
|---|
| 39 | <a href="http://buildd.emdebian.org/svn/browser/current/host/trunk/emdebian-tools/trunk"> |
|---|
| 40 | emdebian-tools</a>, |
|---|
| 41 | <a href="http://buildd.emdebian.org/repos/current/target/trunk/">source patch files</a>, |
|---|
| 42 | and the website. |
|---|
| 43 | </p> |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | <p>The webpages are generated using WML (do <tt>make</tt> to generate them |
|---|
| 46 | and <tt>make install</tt> to copy the resultant html and pics into a |
|---|
| 47 | suitable hierarchy with a set of links for the default language (english). |
|---|
| 48 | The website is in the website module in svn, and is a slightly simplified |
|---|
| 49 | and modified verion of Debian's 'webwml' module. This allows multilingual |
|---|
| 50 | pages should we ever get big enough to need them. The site is checked out |
|---|
| 51 | from svn and regenerated once a day (overnight) on buildd.emdebian.org</p> |
