Where is the code? :-)
-
Hi all!
I've found the github group for ubports and I see that there are a few repositories in there. However, it's not clear to me where the various bits of code are. For instance:- How is the image generated? Where can I find the list of debian/click packages preinstalled in the image?
- Where are the actual packages taken from? Are they taken from some PPA as it was the case for Canonical images, or how?
- In the community Q&A, it was mentioned that A-GPS support was added; where can I see the change in the code which enabled that?
I hope that these questions will help me and other people who want to contribute :-)

I would like to see this as well...

Good question! It would be great to have some clear starting point where one can locate
- lowest level stuff code and binaries (loader, binary blobs, etc)
- OS code
- apps code

It's all either on Github or launchpad, we don't keep anything we own closed. So if you go through the repos, you will find most of it. But i agree, it needs to be documented to make contributing easier. I put it on our TODO list ;)

@NeoTheThird Thanks, but this reply is not that helpful: of course I know that it's opensource, but saying that it's in github or launchpad is as helpful as saying that it's somewhere on the internet: these sites are huge :-)
I asked some concrete questions: do you know the answer to them, or are you able (and would you be so kind) to forward them to those who know?

@mardy Isn't most of the code at: https://github.com/ubports?

@wgarcia said in Where is the code? :-):

Yes, but we don't know what each repository is. Where, for example, is the UI?
-
@wgarcia There's some code there for sure. But it doesn't appear to be what I'm looking for.

Because of this thread, we brought a document up as quickly as possible. You can find it on this page in our wiki.
Thank you for your concern and wishes to help. I hope we can help you contribute with us.

Thank you! This one gives a better way to start!

@UniSuperBox Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know :-)

@UniSuperBox Good job Dalton, thanks for writing that up!
