[[!meta title="Development"]]
ProteanOS needs more contributors! If you're interested in getting involved,
please [[contact_us|contact]] on the IRC channel and/or mailing list.
There are a variety of ways in which you can help shape the future of this
operating system distribution:
Software Packaging
==================
<img src="/media/tango-64/package-x-generic.png" alt="software packaging"
class="icon-64-top-left">
Packaging is the preparation of build instructions and metadata for software
programs and libraries to be built and installed on users' systems.
Source packages have a documented [format][spf-2.0], and a
[[tutorial|dev/packaging/tutorials/basic]] on packaging is available.
There is always [[more_software_to_be_packaged|dev/pkg/needed]], and
[[many_packages|dev/pkg/spf-2.0]] need to be updated to the latest package
format.
Most source packages are maintained in [Git repositories][git-pkg]. To request
a repository for your package, [contact][pehjota-contact] the system
administrator.
[spf-2.0]: http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/
[git-pkg]: http://git.proteanos.com/pkg/
[pehjota-contact]: http://www.pehjota.net/contact.html
Software Development
====================
<img src="/media/tango-64/preferences-system.png" alt="software development"
class="icon-64-top-left">
The two core components of the distribution build system, opkbuild and
opkhelper, are in development.
Also in development is [[opkbootstrap|dev/opkbootstrap]], a tool to install a
basic ProteanOS root filesystem into a target directory.
A simple build daemon infrastructure has been
[[designed|dev/todo/buildd-infra]].
Technical Documentation
=======================
<img src="/media/tango-64/text-editor.png" alt="technical documentation"
class="icon-64-top-left">
Specifications
--------------
In development is the [Source Package Format 2.0 specification][spf-2.0].
[[Instructions|dev/specs]] to clone and build the specifications are available.
Policies
--------
To be written is a Packaging Policy.
<h1 style="clear: left;">Release Series</h1>
ProteanOS is released in [[series|dev/releases]]. Development is currently
focused on [[release_series_1|dev/releases/1]], with version 1.0 expected in
the first half of 2014.
<h1 style="clear: left;">Architecture Ports</h1>
ProteanOS is designed to portable to many different
[[hardware_architectures|dev/ports/hardware]],
[[system_kernels|dev/ports/kernels]], and
[[C/C++_libraries|dev/ports/libraries]]. A number of [[ports|dev/ports/list]]
are planned.
