Development Information

Git repository

The current development state is stored in a Git repository.
The Git repository is also synched to Github. To check out the latest development version use the following command.

\# Canonical repository git clone git://git.verplant.org/collectd.git \# Github mirror git clone git://github.com/collectd/collectd.git

After “cloning” the repository you will need to generate the automake and autoconf files. You can do this using the build.sh script found in the root directory of the repository.

Bugtracking system

We’re using GitHub issues to keep track of bugs. Feel free to open and discuss bugs there. You can conveniently link to issues using http://collectd.org/bugs/num.
