SYNOPSIS
Information on contributing to SVN::Web
DESCRIPTION
If you interested in contributing to SVN::Web there are several areas that could definitely benefit from third party improvement.
Localising
All the English text in the templates should be localised. This makes creating a new localisation as simple as adding the appropriate message catalog file to lib/SVN/Web/I18N/. If you have taken the time to localise SVN::Web to your own language please send the message catalog to the maintainers for inclusion in future releases.
Templates
It is very easy to change SVN::Web's look by creating a new set of templates and adjusting the templatedir configuration directive. If you've created a new template set (perhaps to have SVN::Web's output mimic that of another web based repository browser) then please contribute it back to the maintainers for inclusion in future releases.
New actions
SVN::Web's design makes it simple to add new actions. See SVN::Web::action for details.
If you've created a new action then please contribute it back to the maintainers for inclusion in future releases.
Some ideas for new actions include:
- annotate
-
By analogy with
svn annotate - help
-
Would display help to the user.
- atom
-
Similar to the
rssaction, but generating ATOM format output instead.
Or look on CPAN for SVN related modules that could be usefully integrated. Perhaps SVN::Log::Index or SVN::Churn could form the basis of useful actions.
Bug reports and fixes
Of course, if you discover any bugs in SVN::Web please report them back to the maintainers. It's even more useful if you're able to include a test case that reliably reproduces the bug.
Naturally, fixes for these bugs are even more useful. Please see the "BUGS" in SVN::Web section in SVN::Web for information about reporting bugs.
