You can get the |app| source code in two ways, using a version control system or
directly downloading a `tarball <http://status.calibre-ebook.com/dist/src>`_.
|app| uses `Bazaar <http://bazaar-vcs.org/>`_, a distributed version control
system. Bazaar is available on all the platforms |app| supports. After
installing Bazaar, you can get the |app| source code with the command::
|app| uses `Git <http://www.git-scm.com/>`_, a distributed version control
system. Git is available on all the platforms |app| supports. After
installing Git, you can get the |app| source code with the command::
bzr branch lp:calibre
git clone git://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre.git
On Windows you will need the complete path name, that will be something like :file:`C:\\Program Files\\Bazaar\\bzr.exe`.
On Windows you will need the complete path name, that will be something like :file:`C:\\Program Files\\Git\\git.exe`.
|app| is a very large project with a very long source control history, so the
above can take a while (10mins to an hour depending on your internet speed).
If you want to get the code faster, the sourcecode for the latest release is
always available as an `archive <http://status.calibre-ebook.com/dist/src>`_.
You can also use bzr to just download the source code, without the history,
using::
bzr branch --stacked lp:calibre
To update a branch to the latest code, use the command::
bzr merge
git pull --no-edit
Submitting your changes to be included
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you only plan to make a few small changes, you can make your changes and create a
"merge directive" which you can then attach to a ticket in the |app| bug tracker for consideration. To do
this, make your changes, then run::
If you only plan to make a few small changes, you can make your changes and
create a "merge directive" which you can then attach to a ticket in the |app|
`bug tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre>`_. To do this, make your
changes, then run::
bzr commit -m "Comment describing your changes"
bzr send -o my-changes
git commit -am "Comment describing your changes"
git format-patch origin/master --stdout > my-changes
This will create a :file:`my-changes` file in the current directory,
simply attach that to a ticket on the |app| `bug tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre>`_.
Note that this will include *all* the commits you have made. If you only want
to send some commits, you have to change ``origin/master`` above. To send only
the last commit, use::
git format-patch HEAD~1 --stdout > my-changes
To send the last *n* commits, replace *1* with *n*, for example, for the last 3
commits::
git format-patch HEAD~3 --stdout > my-changes
Be careful to not include merges when using ``HEAD~n``.
If you plan to do a lot of development on |app|, then the best method is to create a
`Launchpad <http://launchpad.net>`_ account. Once you have an account, you can use it to register
your bzr branch created by the `bzr branch` command above. First run the
following command to tell bzr about your launchpad account::
`GitHub <http://github.com>`_ account. Once you have an account, follow the
steps at `Setup Git <https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git>`_ and
`Fork A Repo <https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo>`_ to create your own fork of the
`calibre GitHub repository <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre>`_.
bzr launchpad-login your_launchpad_username
You can contribute your code in the form of `Pull Requests
<https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests>`_. Generally, you should
create a new branch for any feature that is non-trivial.
Now, you have to setup SSH access to Launchpad. First create an SSH public/private keypair. Then upload
the public key to Launchpad by going to your Launchpad account page. Instructions for setting up the
private key in bzr are at http://bazaar-vcs.org/Bzr_and_SSH. Now you can upload your branch to the |app|
project in Launchpad by following the instructions at https://help.launchpad.net/Code/UploadingABranch.
Whenever you commit changes to your branch with the command::
bzr commit -m "Comment describing your change"
Kovid can merge it directly from your branch into the main |app| source tree. You should also keep an eye on the |app|
`development forum <http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=240>`_. Before making major changes, you should
discuss them in the forum or contact Kovid directly (his email address is all over the source code).
