Development

Welcome to the development area of the IPFire project.

This page is meant to give you a short overview about how the IPFire developers work and what tools they do use.

Everybody who is willing to contribute anything to IPFire is very welcomed and we appreciate this help very much.

Planet

NEW! The IPFire project has a new feature on its website that we call the planet. This is meant to be some kind of blog or news site that published minor announcements and keeps community and developers in touch.

Source code

As IPFire is free software, you are allowed to download the source code under the terms of the GNU General Public License in version 3.

Git is used to manage the IPFire source code which can be browsed here. To learn more about Git and how to use it please visit the Git homepage or a guide in out own wiki.


Important howtos

This is a short collection of howtos that are available in the wiki and a good start developing IPFire.

Do not percieve this list complete and check out the wiki, too.


Bugtracker

The bugtracker manages all current issues of the distribution and also helps the developers to keep an overview about what is to do.

If you are sure (and only if) you found a bug in the IPFire system, you may file a report. This is a way to improve the quality of IPFire.

For historical reasons there are two bug tracking systems available. We use mantis for IPFire 2.x and earlier versions which is replaced in the development of version 3.x by redmine.
