(I won't use these repositories for the new Swift Linux, but I'm keeping these repositories for reference purposes until I finish the replacement repositories.)  The 0-intro repository is used to explain to prospective developers how to get started working on Swift Linux.  I chose to use GitHub because that's what Linux Mint uses.  I chose Launchpad.net for bug tracking for the very same reason.

I've looked at Linux Mint's GitHub page, but I get the impression that most of the code for transforming Ubuntu or Debian into Linux Mint is somewhere else.

I'm making my Swift Linux source code publicly available on GitHub to make it relatively easy for prospective developers to get up to speed.  Also, I don't think developers of other distros should have to reinvent the wheel.  I'm hoping that the Swift Linux source code can be a resource for other distros, especially parts of the Linux market that I don't address.  Examples include support for Fort Knox levels of security and support for foreign languages.


You can find the repositories for Mandriva Linux at
http://svn.mandriva.com and also our
development wiki at http://wiki.mandriva.com. :)
