It is, of course, no secret that Merrimack Valley Library Consortium has made quite a few enhancements and additions to Evergreen-ILS available to the community by including them in the Evergreen core. My first series of posts is intended to introduce some of our lesser known offerings to the community. Many of these have not been publicized or perhaps just mentioned in IRC or an email here and there.
Let us start out by mentioning that MVLC runs a public git mirror of Evergreen at http://git.mvlcstaff.org/. Here, you will not only find copies of the public Evergreen git repositories, but you’ll also find some of MVLC’s development branches, including aborted experiments. Thomas Berezansky and Jason Stephenson often put their work in progress code on one of the repositories here before putting the code on the public working repository for review.
In addition to various Evergreen specific repositories and branches, you will find mirrors of the OpenSRF and SIPServer code repositories. Thomas and Jason also have “personal” repositories for OpenSRF and SIPServer where they do their development work before pushing things that are ready for review to the working repositories at git.evergreen-ils.org.
The above might be of interest if you want to follow the latest in bleeding edge development from Merrimack Valley Library Consortium. You should probably avoid Thomas’s and Jason’s named repositories if you are looking for production-ready code.
That said, feel free to use Evergreen/ILS.git, Evergreen/OpenSRF.git, and Evergreen/SIPServer.git as mirrors of the main repositories available at git.evergreen-ils.org. These repositories are updated automatically within a few minutes of something new being added to the main, community repositories.
As you browse git.mvlcstaff.org you will encounter some other interesting sounding repositories and branches. I plan to provide detailed coverage of each of these in future posts.
