55 <h2>Free Software (aka Open Source) licensing</h2>
57 YARRG is Free Software - you may share and modify it. See the
58 licences for details. Not only the client but also the website code
59 is Free. The yarrg client, support files, and so forth are under
60 the GNU GPL (v3 or later); the website is under the GNU Affero GPL (v3
65 Note that there is <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong> !
67 <h2>Resources for developers</h2>
71 <kbd>git clone http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/.git/</kbd><br>
72 obtains the source code of the latest version released for use as a
73 client, which you can also find
74 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/">as
77 <p><a href="source.tar.gz">Live website source code</a> can
78 be downloaded, in case we have made changes but not yet pushed them
79 (perhaps because we haven't done a release), and to make it easy for
80 anyone else who runs a copy of the website to provide everyone with
81 the source for their version, the website code itself lets you download
82 an up-to-date of its actually-running source code. So this link
83 gives you the source code for the pages you are now looking at.
85 <h3>YARRG lookup website instances</h3>
87 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/">Main released site</a>
88 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/data">Released code; testing database instance (updated with yarrg --test-servers)</a>
89 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/code">Testing version of the site code</a>
90 <li><a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/test/both">Testing code running against the testing database instance</a>
93 Each of these allows you to download its own source code so you
94 can get both the testing and the main version of the website.
98 You can add the form parameter <kbd>?debug=1</kbd> to each of the
99 above to get a version of the site with debugging output enabled.
103 <kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/</kbd><br>
104 accesses files published for the benefit of the yarrg upload client,
108 This directory also contains slightly stale copies (updated daily)
109 of the actual databases (in SQLite3 format).
110 It is <a href="http://yarrg.chiark.net/RSYNC/">also available by http</a>
111 but please do not repeatedly download the databases by http - use
112 rsync which is much more efficient. Note also that if you want to
113 actually run your own improved yarrg website, I can arrange to
114 feed you data in real time - see below.
118 <kbd>rsync rsync.yarrg.chiark.net::yarrg/test/</kbd><br>
119 accesses the data for the testing instance.
121 <h3>Documentation</h3>
123 <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ypp-sc-tools/master/yarrg/README.devel">README.devel</a>
124 has the specification of the mechanism and format for uploading to YARRG.
126 <h2>Support from the YARRG team</h2>
128 If you would like to run a (perhaps modified) copy of the YARRG
129 website it would be very easy for us to make our system send you
130 copies of updates submitted by users of the official YARRG client, in
131 the format expected by the YARRG code. Please just ask us - at our
132 end it's just a matter of us adding your database instance's special
133 email address to our alias file.
137 We encourage the development and improvement of this code. Please
138 continue to share your improvements with the Puzzle Pirates community.
139 In particular, do not remove or break the feature that allows users of
140 your website to download the up to date code you are running.
