Hi Camm,
As you see the project is a bit unfocused at the moment.
However, there are basically three branches:
* silver -- this is a dayly mirror of the source bas ethat Tim uses.
It is effectively read-only, even if theoretically you could
commit there. How it should evolve is unclear, and a lot of
debate is going on.
* build-improvements -- this is a branch that I maintain. Its goal
is to bring Axiom to a state where the build machinery is
simplified for both developers and end-users: Ideallym they should
just say
./configure && make && make install
I'm using Autoconf (no Automake at the moment). You can commit to
that branch if you have write access to the SourceForge repository.
When completed, it will be proposed for merge to the main source.
People have been able to build and run Axiom from
build-improvements on systems that traditional releases of Axiom
where unable to support.
I did not originally anticipate making tarballs out of that
branch, but repeated experience with students and some users
around here had shown that I need to make a tarball. I've done
that but, not officially. Depending on how all this issue
developed, how much of interest it generates, and how long it
takes to complete the branch, I may have to make regular tarballs
out of that branch. But, it is not something I planned on. It is
up to the community.
* the third branch is by Antoine. It "looks" less active at the
moment. I'm not really qualified to comment.
