|  | <p>If you just want to run <strong>reclass</strong> from source, e.g. because you are going to be | 
|  | making and testing changes, install it in “development mode”:</p> | 
|  | <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>python setup.py develop | 
|  | </pre></div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <p>Now the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">reclass</span></tt> script, as well as the adapters, will be available in | 
|  | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/usr/local/bin</span></tt>, and you can also invoke them directly from the source | 
|  | tree.</p> | 
|  | <p>To uninstall:</p> | 
|  | <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>python setup.py develop --uninstall | 
|  | </pre></div> |

|  | <p>If you want to talk about <strong>reclass</strong>, use the <a class="reference external" href="http://lists.pantsfullofunix.net/listinfo/reclass">mailing list</a> or to find me on | 
|  | IRC, in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">#reclass</span></tt> on <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">irc.oftc.net</span></tt>.</p> |

|  | <p><strong>reclass</strong> is currently maintained <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/madduck/reclass">on Github</a>.</p> | 
|  | <p>Conttributions to <strong>reclass</strong> are very welcome. Since I prefer to keep a somewhat | 
|  | clean history, I will not just merge pull request.</p> | 
|  | <p>You can submit pull requests, of course, and I’ll rebase them onto <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">HEAD</span></tt> | 
|  | before merging. Or send your patches using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git-format-patch</span></tt> and | 
|  | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git-send-e-mail</span></tt> to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:reclass%40lists.pantsfullofunix.net">the mailing list</a>.</p> | 
|  | <p>I have added rudimentary unit tests, and it would be nice if you could submit | 
|  | your changes with appropriate changes to the tests. To run tests, invoke</p> | 
|  | <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>$ make tests | 
|  | </pre></div> | 
|  | </div> | 
|  | <p>in the top-level checkout directory. The tests are rather inconsistent, some | 
|  | using mock objects, and only the datatypes-related code is covered. If you are | 
|  | a testing expert, I could certainly use some help here to improve the | 
|  | consistency of the existing tests, as well as their coverage.</p> | 
|  | <p>Also, there is a Makefile giving access to PyLint and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">coverage.py</span></tt> (running | 
|  | tests). If you run that, you can see there is a lot of work to be done | 
|  | cleaning up the code. If this is the sort of stuff you want to do — by all | 
|  | means — be my guest! ;)</p> | 
|  | <p>There are a number of items on the <a class="reference internal" href="todo.html"><em>to-do list</em></a>, so if you are | 
|  | bored…</p> | 
|  | <p>If you have larger ideas, I’ll be looking forward to discuss them with you.</p> |
