Hullo, LaRoza!

I am a proficient Python developer and would like to contribute to your project. Where should I begin? Also, what do you intend to do with sysres in the long term?

Really? Why?
Never mind.

I'm involved on the project. Let's see:

0. Install Bazaar (sudo apt-get install bzr).

1. Learn how to use it (and what a Version Control System is, if you never used one). Use this official 5-minute tutorial: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en...ial/index.html It's quite simple to use; yes, I'll describe some commands here below, but it's much better that you know what you're doing instead of just copying commands.

2. Create a Launchpad accout and set it up (you could skip the PGP keys step). https://launchpad.net

3. Branch from trunk to get the latest release code:

bzr branch lp:sysres

4. Code... code... code...

5. Create a revision of your changes:

bzr commit -m "Some useful message here, please"

6. Upload your changes to the project's codebase:

bzr push lp:~(your-username)/sysres/(choose-branch-name)

It's quite advisable that you visit your branch's webpage and fill in the details. It'll be located at https://launchpad.net/~(username)/sysres/(branch-name)

7. If some change occurs to the trunk and you want to include into your branch:

bzr merge lp:sysres

This also works with any branch, but it's not usual to merge from elsewhere than the trunk.

8. If you want your changes be merged into the trunk. You have to fill a Request for Merge. This is done via the branch's webpage. Anyone can vote on your code, but only LaRoza will be able to accept or reject it... and merge your changes into the release code.

We have a forum for Sysres (and Pyctactoe, my project): http://laroza.19.forumer.com/

sysres has obtained its original goal. It now has all the features and a .deb installer, plus an icon and menu entry.

For the code, see https://launchpad.net/sysres

For the .deb, you can get 1.0 here: https://launchpad.net/sysres/trunk/1.0

The future holds uncertainity, and we hope to enhance it without any feature creep.

Good job
