<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<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 &#8220;development mode&#8221;:</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>
</div>

<div class="section" id="discussing-reclass">
<h2>Discussing reclass<a class="headerlink" href="#discussing-reclass" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<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>

<div class="section" id="contributing-to-reclass">
<h2>Contributing to reclass<a class="headerlink" href="#contributing-to-reclass" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<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&#8217;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&#37;&#52;&#48;lists&#46;pantsfullofunix&#46;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&#8217;ll be looking forward to discuss them with you.</p>
