Contains development docs relating to bugs, triage, patching, etc.

Project Structure

Development:Project Structure describes the structure of the Camino Project and outlines the various contributors responsible for each area.

Development:Roadmap provides a broad overview of current and future releases of Camino.

Development:Localization Policies describes the policies that apply to Camino localizers.

Developer Interviews

In the summer of 2006, Ludovic Hirlimann began conducting a series of interviews with the many people working on Camino who were less well-known than the project leads. With his permission, those interviews are republished here; future interviews conducted by others will be added as they become available.

Building

Development:Building is the current revision of the documentation on building Camino.

Development:Building:Build Errors is a collection of common build errors and solutions.

Development:Camino AppleScript Guide contains information to help authors of AppleScripts and toolbar script items for Camino.

Development:Third-Party Preference Panes contains information to help creators of third-party preference panes for Camino.

Development:Third-Party Tab Themes contains information to help creators of third-party tab themes for Camino.

Reviewing

Development:Reviewing gives an overview of how reviewing works in the Camino Project, as well as information about code style, patch procedures, tips for adding Gecko components to the project, and helpful hints for new committers.

Working With Bugs

Development:Contributor Overview is a new page that provides an overview of the actual development process for new contributors, pointing to the specifics in other documents. (It should replace this page in some respects.)

Development:Good Bugs and Projects is our start of a "good first bugs" list, as well as some summer-sized Camino and Mac Gecko projects that need love.

Development:Editing_Nibs gives information on how to properly edit nibs and attach them to bugs for review. It also gives basic Camino-specific style guidelines for our nibs.

Development:Using git for Camino development provides information on how to integrate git into the Camino development process.

QA:Keywords & Status Whiteboard explains some of the commonly-used keywords and status whiteboard entries.

See other Quality Assurance pages for related articles which are more targeted towards end-user support and bug triage than towards developers looking to learn about Camino's use of Bugzilla.
  • Development:OldProgramming contains the contents of the old cbo development/programming page, which need to be integrated here where appropriate.

Tools

link to tools and explanations; currently links are all to explanations of some degree of usefulness

  • Camino oddities:
    • ardissone|away: there's one particularity about the Camino tinderbox
    • ardissone|away: because we show all branches on the same page
    • ardissone|away: the "Guilty" column and the "C" link on each build
    • ardissone|away: are only correct for the trunk
    • ardissone|away: if something regresses or busts on 1.8 or 1.8.0, we have to manually compare the times to bonsai
  • Linkzilla plug-in for Colloquy, which translates bug 377248 or bug 377248 comment 28 into live links (written by encro).

Tracking Documents

The various Development:Planning pages track the discussion and implementation of various large-scale feature changes and behavior synchronization issues that developers are in the process of fixing. The planning documents below may also contain discussion of potential new features for inclusion in future versions of Camino or of features that will never be accepted in Camino.
