OEM parts means Unique Gear Manufacturer parts which not necessarily mean the OM (Authentic Manufacturer) actually produced them. You realize, many motorcycle and automobile manufacturers don'testosterone manufacture each and every in the parts used in the vehicles. These people frequently have the parts designed and manufactured by outside independent companies and, install them of their machines or place them of their personal boxes to end up being sold as OEM parts!

Contributing to ProgClub projects

Contributions to ProgClub projects are covered by the Copyright policy. Generally in order to contribute to a ProgClub project you need to be a member. That is unless you are only planning to contribute to a forum such as the project page on the wiki. Contributions to ProgClub forums are also covered by the Copyright policy. If you are a member and you contribute to a ProgClub project a link to your user page will be added to the Contributors section of the project page. If you contribute to a ProgClub project and your are not a member, then you can optionally include your details (a link to your user page if you have an account on the wiki (you don't need to be a member to have one of these), your email address, or a link to your web-site) along with your name in the Contributors section.

Releasing ProgClub projects

About half of ProgClub's projects have source-code in the subversion repository. Projects that don't have code in the repository don't really need to be released, for them you just have to update the project documentation on the wiki. Projects in svn do need to be released, however. There is a process for releasing projects in svn, and it's detailed on the Subversion page.

In addition to doing a subversion release (which tags the release and updates the latest tag) you might also like to deploy the software. To do a deployment use the project-specific release script in /home/jj5/bin. At the moment that is any of:

  • release-pcwiki, for releasing pcwiki
  • release-pcblog, for releasing pcblog
  • release-pcldap, for releasing pcldap
  • release-pcma, for releasing pcma
  • release-pcview, for releasing pcview
  • release-pccipher, for releasing pccipher
  • release-pcweb, for releasing pcweb
  • release-pcmnet, for releasing pcmnet

This list will be added to as time goes by, and as there is a need for doing new project releases.

When calling a project-specific release script you pass a single parameter; that being the 'comment', or 'release notes', for the release you are doing. You run these scripts on charity, and after doing the subversion release the web software in /var/www/ is updated appropriately.
