Development Cycle

Here, you can read an overview of the development cycle used by OpenInkpot project.

• The build environment is set up.
• The source code is a modified version of OpenInkpot/ IPlinux sources or a new application.
• The source code is compiled under the IPlinux build environment.
• The binaries are packaged using dpkg-buildpackage -a<arch>.
• The e-reader is connected to the host using SSH access.
• The package is pushed onto the device and installed like any other package.
• The binaries can now be tested on the device to detect any problems.
• If everything is right, the developer can now create a patch and submit it to us (mailing list, own git, OpenInkpot git).
