ViewVC contrib ?
« on: July 29, 2022, 10:21:35 AM »
Back in 2017, I posted how I had managed to get ViewVC installed on my SME server (https://forums.koozali.org/index.php/topic,53436.0.html)

Now I've updated to SME10, I'm trying to do the same but I'm having no joy.

Can anyone tell me if there are plans to make a smeserver-viewvc contrib ?

Again, there's some irony in that koozali uses ViewVC themselves (https://viewvc.koozali.org/) but we can't install it on an SME server !!

you are welcome to create the contrib. 

we will be happy to assist in anyway to make it happen. 

we have more than 100 contribs currently on SME 10. most of them are unmaintained by their original contributors and we try to do our best to keep them running with a small team of volunteers. 

If you join, even for just the contrib you need, this can make a huge change for all.

remember SME is a community driven distro.  Nobody get paid for the work done there.

If you want to talk to us real time for some help just PM me for an account on our Rocket.Chat server.

Easier than here when you are hacking stuff & we can help with some of ths vagaries of contrib building.

Wiki has plenty of stuff but it can be a bit confusing.

Do take a look through the source of some other contribs for ideas.
...
1. Read the Manual
2. Read the Wiki
3. Don't ask for support on Unsupported versions of software
4. I have a job, wife, and kids and do this in my spare time. If you want something fixed, please help.
