h2 Can I see the source code of this web application?
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
I have been asked why the web application was not simply put into
|
|
||||||
a Debian package so everybody can install their own copy. First of all it
|
|
||||||
is pretty complex and creating a package from it would be time-consuming.
|
|
||||||
And the web application was specifically created to operate this web site.
|
|
||||||
Running a private copy of it would not really make much sense.

Valid question. I am not a professional Rails developer so I was

a href="https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debshots"
|

reluctant to publish the source code. In fact I feared it would

' salsa.debian.net

attract people with bad intentions rather than contributors.
|
|
||||||
Yes, that is a weak reason. So after the next major update I will

add the Git URL here so you can get the source code and start

|

critisizing me. :)
