Table Of Contents
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.5 9
DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Kettle, an application and set of packages providing support for the easy building and installation of pure Tcl packages, and Critcl based Tcl packages.
Please read the document Kettle - Introduction to Kettle, if you have not done so already, to get an overview of the whole system.
The audience of this document is anyone wishing to either have just a look at Kettle's source code, or build the packages, or to extend and modify them.
For builders and developers we additionally provide
respectively.
Source Location
The official repository for Kettle can be found at https://core.tcl-lang.org/akupries/kettle, with mirrors at https://chiselapp.com/user/andreas_kupries/repository/Kettle and https://github.com/andreas-kupries/kettle, in case of trouble with the main location.
Retrieval
Assuming that you simply wish to look at the sources, or build a specific revision, the easiest way of retrieving it is to:
Log into this site, as "anonymous", using the semi-random password in the captcha.
Go to the "Timeline".
Choose the revision you wish to have and
follow its link to its detailed information page.
On that page, choose either the "ZIP" or "Tarball" link to get a copy of this revision in the format of your choice.
Source Code Management
For the curious (or a developer-to-be), the sources are managed by the Fossil SCM. Binaries for popular platforms can be found directly at its download page.
With that tool available the full history of our project can be retrieved via:
fossil clone https://core.tcl-lang.org/akupries/kettle kettle.fossil
followed by
mkdir kettle
cd kettle
fossil open ../kettle.fossil
to get a checkout of the head of the trunk.
