HOW IS DEVELOPMENT DONE?
Mainly by creating or updating software packages in RPM binary format starting from source code.
The packages are made available in folders called repositories or channels. Read more....
HOW CAN I TAKE PART TO DEVELOPMENT?
Packages creation is made simpler and standard by using the
autospec tool. Some practice is recommended by following the instructions in the wiki page.
HOW DO I ADD A REPOSITORY TO MY SYSTEM?
You need to save the repository APT file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.
Starting from milestone2 reposiotries can be enabled using Smart Package Manager channels configuration.
