- == Community resources
- Like any open source project, Buildroot has different ways to share
- information in its community and outside.
- Each of those ways may interest you if you are looking for some help,
- want to understand Buildroot or contribute to the project.
- Mailing List::
- +
- Buildroot has a mailing list for discussion and development. It is the
- main method of interaction for Buildroot users and developers.
- +
- Only subscribers to the Buildroot mailing list are allowed to post to
- this list. You can subscribe via the
- http://lists.buildroot.org/mailman/listinfo/buildroot[mailing list info
- page].
- +
- Mails that are sent to the mailing list are also available in the
- http://lists.buildroot.org/pipermail/buildroot[mailing list archives] and
- via http://gmane.org[Gmane], at
- http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot[+gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot+].
- Please search the mailing list archives before asking questions, since
- there is a good chance someone else has asked the same question before.
- IRC::
- +
- The Buildroot IRC channel irc://freenode.net/#buildroot[#buildroot] is
- hosted on http://webchat.freenode.net[Freenode]. It is a useful place to
- ask quick questions or discuss on certain topics.
- +
- When asking for help on IRC, share relevant logs or pieces of code
- using a code sharing website, such as http://code.bulix.org.
- +
- Note that for certain questions, posting to the mailing list may be
- better as it will reach more people, both developers and users.
- Bug tracker::
- +
- Bugs in Buildroot can be reported via the mailing list or alternatively
- via the https://bugs.buildroot.org/buglist.cgi?product=buildroot[Buildroot
- bugtracker]. Please refer to xref:reporting-bugs[] before creating a bug
- report.
- Wiki::
- +
- http://elinux.org/Buildroot[The Buildroot wiki page] is hosted on
- the http://elinux.org[eLinux] wiki. It contains some useful links, an
- overview of past and upcoming events, and a TODO list.
- Patchwork::
- +
- Patchwork is a web-based patch tracking system designed to facilitate
- the contribution and management of contributions to an open-source
- project. Patches that have been sent to a mailing list are \'caught' by
- the system, and appear on a web page. Any comments posted that
- reference the patch are appended to the patch page too. For more
- information on Patchwork see
- http://jk.ozlabs.org/projects/patchwork/[].
- +
- Buildroot's Patchwork website is mainly for use by Buildroot's
- maintainer to ensure patches aren't missed. It is also used by Buildroot
- patch reviewers (see also xref:apply-patches-patchwork[]).
- However, since the website exposes patches and their corresponding
- review comments in a clean and concise web interface, it can be useful
- for all Buildroot developers.
- +
- The Buildroot patch management interface is available at
- http://patchwork.buildroot.org[].
