About
This site is intended as the development center of VectorLinux. It provides version control (svn, git and mercurial), http and ftp services, a bug tracking system and several tools for software development management to the projects that are related to the distribution. The wiki section will host documentation about the development tasks, and we hope it will serve for proposing new features or modifications, and discussing the future of the distro. With the version control system we want to optimize collaborative work and ensure that patches, fixes and contributions will be incorporated into the development process more quickly and efficiently.
