Work on mod-xslt is coordinated among developers using TLA, based on GNUArch, a nice alternative to CVS. TLA allows many developers to work together on the same code solving most of the conflicts and avoiding most of the dangerous conditions. Anyone is allowed read only access to mod-xslt TLA archives using the parameters provided below. mod-xslt TLA read-only archives are made available using http. To access the TLA archives, you need to: have tla installed on your system. You can download tla (gnuarch) from the GNU home page. register the archive: tla register-archive tla(at)ml.masobit.net--2004-public \ http://www.mod-xslt2.com/tla/ Please, remember to replace the '(at)' with the '@'! I already receive enough spam... fetch the sources using the command: tla get -A tla(at)ml.masobit.net--2004-public \ modxslt2--main You can also fetch stable releases using ``modxslt2--stable'' instead. To compile the sources you just downloaded, keep in mind you need to: have the latest version of autoconf, autotools, automake and libtool installed on your system generate a ``configure'' script, using the script ``tools/release'' have the latest version of bison and flex installed (the parsers are usually made available ``precompiled'' in the tarball) Note that you can also access the sources using the web interface or by accessing directly the online repository. You should use TLA sources every time you want to add features to mod-xslt or to work on its code. Patches or contributes are more than welcome, just post them to the dev mailing list. However, if you are planning to add major features or to make significant changes to the sources, please post a message to the mailing list before starting your work. This will help us in: avoiding to duplicate the efforts (maybe someone is already working on the changes you are planning) avoiding to create incompatible changes (maybe someoune is working on something that will break the code you are writing) plan for future releases We are usually happy to hear from our users or future developers, to get souggestions, pieces of code or help offers. So, don't be scared! Just mail us.
