There is an experimental [http://www.gnuarch.org/ GNU arch] tree available which is likely to become the main repository soon.

== Anonymous access ==
coreboot provides no binaries, but there exist some distributions that do so, see [[#coreboot_distributions|below]].


You can check it out as follows (instead of tla you can also use baz):
There are source code releases on http://coreboot.org/releases/


<code><pre>
= Accessing the source code through git =
  % # get gpg key for checking signed archives
  % wget \
      http://wiki.linuxbios.org/data/arch/linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
  % gpg --import < linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
  % # now do some one time registrations
  % tla my-id "John Doe <doe@example.com>" # Add your email address here
  % tla register-archive \
        ftp://openbios.org/pub/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
  % # now check out the archive
  % tla get linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel/freebios--devel--2.0 freebios2
</pre></code>


== Developer Access ==
coreboot uses git and gerrit for source code management. Please see the [[Git]] page on how to work with git and gerrit in coreboot.


=== Prerequisites ===
Previously the project used the subversion SCM, some links to it may still be referred to, but are definitely outdated.
If you want to get write access to the LinuxBIOS repository, you need the following:
 
* GnuPG key (can be created with gpg --gen-key)
* SSH v2 key (can be created with ssh-keygen -t dsa)
 
=== Preparation ===
 
* Get the arch key I created for the import from CVS.
 
  $ wget 'http://wiki.linuxbios.org/data/arch/linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg'
  $ gpg --import linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
 
*  Prepare GNU arch for LinuxBIOS
 
  # Set your default id:
  $ tla my-id "John Doe <doe@example.com>"
 
  # similar to cvs login, tell gnuarch where to find the archive:
  $ tla register-archive sftp://lxbios@openbios.org/srv/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
 
  # prepare gnupg signature checking:
  $ mkdir -p ~/.arch-params/signing
  $ echo "gpg --clearsign" > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default
  $ echo "gpg --verify-files -" > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default.check
 
=== Check out ===
 
  $ tla get linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel/freebios--devel--2.0 freebios2
 
=== Working on the tree ===
 
Now you can start editing the files. The following applies for symlinks and directories as well.
 
*  New files are added with
  $ tla add filename
 
* files can also be renamed using:
  $ tla mv fileA fileB
 
* files can also be renamed using:
  $ tla mv fileA fileB
 
* files can be deleted:
  $ tla rm file
 
When you're done editing/patching:
 
* Look at your changes:
  $ tla changes
or
  $ tla changes --diffs
 
* Check the tree:
 
You can do consistency checks on your tree with:
  $ tla tree-lint
  $ tla inventory -Bu
 
Check if your tree is current:
  $ tla missing
 
This will output a list of missing changesets in your local tree, ie:
 
  patch-15
  patch-16
  patch-17
  patch-18
 
In which case you should do a
  $ tla update
before you commit.
 
=== Commiting ===
 
Write a changelog. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE EMPTY CHANGELOG MESSAGES:
  $ $EDITOR $( tla make-log )
 
Commit your local tree
  $ tla commit
 
This will ask you for your gpg passphrase (and possibly your ssh key
password if you set one). Then it will create a new revision in the
repository.

You can also [http://www.openbios.org/cgi-bin/viewarch.cgi/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel browse the LinuxBIOS arch repository online].

You can browse the coreboot Git repository online using [http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git gitweb] including its [http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=coreboot.git;a=tree tree view] for accessing the files.
 
== Mirroring the repository ==
 
This is very simple. Do:
 
  wget -m ftp://ftp.openbios.org/pub/arch


Which gives you a snapshot in time of the archive.

To create a mirror usable by arch:

While not officially part of the coreboot project, there exist some projects that distribute pre-built (tested) ROM images along with build scripts and user-focused documentation. These "distros" of coreboot will also typically include copies of the source code (or links where to find it) for the version of coreboot used along with payloads such as SeaBIOS, GRUB and so on.

Or, to use CVS directly:

<code>% cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.freebios.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freebios co freebios2</code>
 
 
== Snapshots ==
 
There is an archive of daily snapshots available at snapshots.linuxbios.org. There is a .bz2 tar file that gets updated when the CVS changes. Older snapshots are maintained as well.
