Where is the code? :-)

mardy

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?

Yes, but we don't know what each repository is. Where, for example, is the UI?

mardy

@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!
