Orbeon Source Code Repository

Where is the code?

Since July 2009, the source code for Orbeon Forms is available on GitHub instead of the older CVS repository:

Orbeon Forms: http://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/tree/master

The entire commit history since August 21, 2004 (when the project was open sourced) was migrated from CVS to git.

In addition, the following repositories contain changes made to third-party modules:

Saxon: http://github.com/orbeon/saxon/tree/master
Xerces: http://github.com/orbeon/xerces/tree/master

Git and GitHub

How can I contribute?

In order to contribute to Orbeon Forms, you need to do the following:

Create a free github account:
http://github.com/
Provide your SSH Key to github
http://github.com/guides/providing-your-ssh-key
Tell git your user name and email address
http://github.com/guides/tell-git-your-user-name-and-email-address

If you are an internal committer:

Orbeon adds you as collaborator to the main orbeon/orbeon-forms repository
Clone the repository with git clone git@github.com:orbeon/orbeon-forms.git

If you are an external contributor or you want to work with your own public repository copy:

Clone your own repository
Once changes are committed to your repository, you can send a pull request to orbeon. If you are new it's better to discuss your changes in the mailing-list first!

We are still new to git so any suggestions are welcome.

Build tags

Each Orbeon Forms nightly build or release is tagged in source code control with a version number including a time stamp. If you downloaded a binary build, or simply have a version number you can infer the tag:

orbeon-dev-post-3.7.1.200907200832.zip → TAG_OPS_dev-post-3_7_1_200907200832

Earlier tag names (before July 2009) did not have "-" characters:

orbeon-3.6.0.200712061930.zip → TAG_OPS_3_6_0_200712061930
orbeon-dev-post-3.7.1.200907140655.zip → TAG_OPS_dev_post_3_7_1_200907140655
