Let's say I am done modifying a codebase and now am ready to give it a try. Is 
there an accepted make/install sequence I am supposed to follow?
It is perl… no need to compile anything or whatnot. You may want to run ‘make 
devel’ to replicate an rpm installation but only from source (doing stuff that 
the packaging is doing)

It looks like PF is expected to be installed into /usr/local/pf. Is there an 
install script that is supposed to do it for me?
You can simply create a symlink /usr/local/pf that points to your devel dir… 
make sure not to overwrite your actual PacketFence installation if you are 
working on the same box.

Cheers!

Boris,

1. Any conventions as far as forking/branch names?
Whatever floats your boat… it is in your repo so we don’t really care about it 
;)

2. Got it - I just use my local repo as my sandbox.
Are there any conventions in the PF community as far the IDE to use, the ways 
to setup test scenarios, etc?
You are talking about coding Perl… most of us are using VI or emacs as an “IDE” 
;)

3. Self-explainatory. I guess git pull in this case is the accepted merge 
mechanism, right?
Github offers pretty good documentation on how to create a pull-request from a 
fork :)

Cheers!

Boris,

1. Fork the PacketFence repo from Github. 
(https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence#fork-destination-box)
2. Do the changes in your forked repo of PacketFence
3. Submit a pull-request !

Cheers!

Hello all,

I am considering going over the PF code and trying to fix some issues I am 
encountering. So I am wondering what the procedures are for introducing the 
changes - i.e., git labeling/branching conventions, etc.

Thanks.

Boris.
