How to help at versioncontrol* modules

Introduction

versioncontrol* modules is the family of modules that expose to drupal a way to interact with version control systems.

This is an incomplete list of the versioncontrol* modules, but these are the related ones with the git migration:

• Version Control API
• Version Control API -- Git backend
• Version Control / Project Node integration

Please notice that versioncontrol module depends on other modules, so help at that modules would also help:

• DBTNG
• Autoload
• Views
• Views_field_view

Development

Issue queues of each of the related modules have many open issues, so that's the place where to find delimited tasks to help ;-)

A note about testing

We are trying to embrace testing, and we are in the process of adding more, but for now we are depending on some patches to actually got the test working:

• simpletest patch: Backport latest SimpleTest code from D7

Installing

There are two ways to get started: using drupalorg_testing profile or using the manual way.

In both cases you need to have installed:

• PDO and the driver for your database engine
• Git

Using drupalorg_testing profile

mikey_p is getting the various modules into drupalorg_testing profile, but it is not yet on drupal.org CVS repo, so you can download and help with his work creating a test environment by using the source at http://github.com/shomeya/drupalorg_testing or downloading a package at http://pub.shomeya.com/drupalorg_testing/

Using the manual way

• Download dependencies:
  • dbtng from git 6.x-1.x branch
  • autoload from git 6.x-2.x branch
  • Last stable views
  • views_field_view from git 6.x-1.x branch
• Download versioncontrol from git master
• Download versioncontrol_git from git 6.x-2.x branch
