53 licences for details. Not only the client but also the website code
54 is Free. The yarrg client, support files, and so forth are under

62 <h2>Resources for developers</h2>
66 <kbd>git-clone http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/</kbd><br>
67 obtains the source code of the latest release, which you can also find
68 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/">as an unpacked tree</a>
70 <p><a href="source.tar.gz">Live website source code</a> can
71 be downloaded, in case we have made changes but not yet pushed them
72 (perhaps because we haven't done a release), and to make it easy for
73 anyone else who runs a copy of the website to provide everyone with
74 the source for their version, the website code itself lets you download
75 an up-to-date of its actually-running source code. So this link
76 gives you the source code for the pages you are now looking at.
78 <h3>YARRG lookup website instances</h3>
80 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/">Main released site</a>
81 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/data">Released code; testing database instance (updated with yarrg --test-servers)</a>
82 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/code">Testing version of the site code</a>
83 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/both">Testing code running against the testing database instance</a>
86 Each of these allows you to download its own source code so you
87 can get both the testing and the main version of the website.
91 <kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/</kbd><br>
92 accesses files published for the benefit of the yarrg upload client,
96 This directory also contains slightly stale copies (updated daily)
97 of the actual databases (in SQLite3 format).
98 It is <a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/RSYNC/">also available by http</a>
99 but please do not repeatedly download the databases by http - use
100 rsync which is much more efficient. Note also that if you want to
101 actually run your own improved yarrg website, I can arrange to
102 feed you data in real time - see below.
106 <kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/test/</kbd><br>
107 accesses the data for the testing instance.
109 <h3>Documentation</h3>
111 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/yarrg/README.devel">README.devel</a>
112 has the specification of the mechanism and format for uploading to YARRG.
114 <h2>Support from the YARRG team</h2>
116 If you would like to run a (perhaps modified) copy of the YARRG
117 website it would be very easy for us to make our system send you
118 copies of updates submitted by users of the official YARRG client, in
119 the format expected by the YARRG code. Please just ask us - it's just
120 a matter of us adding your database instance's special email address
125 We encourage the development and improvement of this code. Please
126 continue to share your improvements with the Puzzle Pirates community.
127 In particular, do not remove or break the feature that allows users of
128 your website to download the up to date code you are running.
130 <h2>Contacting the YARRG developers</h2>
