  The development of our packages is now coordinated in Git repositories. For a tutorial on how to build the boinc packages follow the [[BOINC/Development/GitUsage]] pages. This starts with the checkout of the source code and truly ends with the packages how they are also uploaded to the distribution. The instructions may appeal also to those with some interest in git usage alone. As an extension, see [[BOINC/Development/Backports]] with instructions how to port back to older distributions.
  
- We are steadily following upstream's releases. Below the ToDo lists of the packaging branches:
-   * [[http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc.git;a=blob;f=debian/TODO.Debian|TODO.Debian in master branch]]
+ We are steadily following upstream's releases. This [[http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-boinc/boinc.git;a=blob;f=debian/TODO.Debian|file]] in the repository attempts to reference current activities. It is of a particular interest of the BOINC developers to see the server side of BOINC develop separately from the clients. This will be addressed as time permits.

  === Compilation from the distribution's source package ===
  
- If new to Linux development, you may possibly decide to do what the automated Debian build demons do to get the package compiled on various platforms: they use the source distribution. Once you ever compiled a Debian package yourself, please learn about git and check out our repository. The introduction at [[BOINC/Development/GitUsage]] by now does a fairly good  job. It just helps communicating with us.

  To install the BOINC packages from source, a `deb-src` line pointing to Debian's main archive must be present in your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file. Also make sure that you have the `build-essential` and `fakeroot` packages installed on your system. Curiosity is a good motivation to inspect and compile the source.
