== 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
|
||
|
|
mailing list archives, available through
|
||
|
|
http://lists.buildroot.org/pipermail/buildroot[Mailman] or at
|
||
|
|
https://lore.kernel.org/buildroot/[lore.kernel.org].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IRC::
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
The Buildroot IRC channel irc://irc.oftc.net/#buildroot[#buildroot] is
|
||
|
|
hosted on https://www.oftc.net/WebChat/[OFTC]. 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 https://paste.ack.tf/.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
Note that for certain questions, posting to the mailing list may be
|
||
|
|
better as it will reach more people, both developers and users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|

|
||

|
||

Wiki::
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
http://elinux.org/Buildroot[The Buildroot wiki page] is hosted on
|
||
|
|
the http://elinux.org[eLinux] wiki. It contains some useful links, an

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/[].
