Axiom Development
-Axiom development is now hosted on an Arch server
-running on axiom.developer.org.
-
-
-There is an irc channel where developers can find other developers. It is:
-
-server: irc.freenode.net
-
-channel:#axiom-developer
-
-
-You only need to do these setup steps once.
-In order to access the arch sources you need to let arch know who
-you are with the command:
-
-
- tla my-id "First Last <addy@host.com>"
-
-
-Next you need to register an archive:
-
-
- tla register-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom http://axiom-developer.org/archive/axiom
-
-
-Then set up a default archive
-
-
- tla my-default-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom
-
-
-
-In order to get the latest source for the Axiom main line type:
-
-
- tla get axiom--main--1
-
-
-
-There are several branches available. Each branch is used to develop
-a particular idea and get a stable, working version before merging
-it back to the main line. The currently available branches are:
-
-
-axiom--main--1 the main development branch
- this branch will be mirrored to the CVS on savannah when it
- is stable and tested.
- Currently in step 4 of development.

-If you need write access to the archive you need to follow these steps:
-
-Create a key by typing:
-
-
-ssh-keygen -t dsa
-
-This will create a file called .ssh/id_dsa.pub. You need to send the
-contents of this file to Tim Daly <daly@idsi.net>
-so your interactions can be enabled.
-
-In order to access the arch sources you need to let arch know who
-you are with the command:
-
-
- tla my-id "First Last <addy@host.com>"
-
-
-Next you need to register an archive:
-
-
- tla register-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom sftp://arch@axiom-developer.org/home/arch/archive/axiom
-
-Notice that you're using sftp rather than http. The sftp function
-uses the secure keys to enable ftp access to the sources. The http
-function is read-only.
-
-Then set up a default archive
-
-
- tla my-default-archive arch@axiom-developer.org--axiom
-
-
-
-In order to get the latest source for the Axiom main line type:
-
-
- tla get axiom--main--1
-
-
-Now you can change the sources. Once you've made changes they need
-to be sent back (commit) to the host. In order to do the commit
-function in tla you need a log file that summarizes the changes.
-You can create and edit the log file with:
-
-
- emacs -nw `tla make-log`
-
-
-or for the vi fans
-
- vi `tla make-log`
-
-Finally you commit the changes with:
-
-
- tla commit
