Development tree:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Code repository
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The development tree is available through a Git repository hosted at
link:https://github.com/[GitHub].

To retrieve the current development tree, use the following command:

	:; git clone git://github.com/networkupstools/nut.git

OPTIONALLY you can then fetch known git tags, so semantic versions look
better (based off a recent release):

	:; cd nut
	:; git fetch --tags --all

The `configure` script and its dependencies are not stored in Git. To generate
them, ensure that autoconf, automake and libtool are installed, then run the
following script in the directory you just checked out:

	:; ./autogen.sh

NOTE: it is optionally recommended to have Python 2.x or 3.x, and Perl, to
generate some files included into the `configure` script, presence is checked
by autotools when it is generated. Neutered files can be just "touched" to
pass the `autogen.sh` if these interpreters are not available, and effectively
skip those parts of the build later on -- `autogen.sh` will then advise which
special environment variables to `export` in your situation and re-run it.

Then refer to the
ifdef::website[]
link:docs/user-manual.chunked/index.html[NUT user manual]
endif::website[]
ifndef::website[]
linkdoc:user-manual[NUT user manual]
endif::website[]
 for more information.

NOTE: Users that need the latest developments to support new devices *must*
use Git or <<Snapshots,snapshots>>.

Browse code
^^^^^^^^^^^

You can browse the "vanilla NUT" code at the
link:https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/[Main GitHub repository for NUT sources],
and some possibly modified copies as part of packaging recipe
sources of operating system distributions, as listed below.

[[Snapshots]]
Snapshots
^^^^^^^^^

GitHub has several download links for repository snapshots (for particular tags
or branches), but you will need a number of tools such as autoconf, automake
and libtool to use these snapshots to generate the `configure` script and some
other files.

After you `configure` the source workspace, a `make dist-hash` recipe would
create the snapshot tarballs which do not require the auto* tools, and their
checksum files, such as those available on the NUT website and attached to
link:https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/releases[GitHub Releases page].

/////////
TODO: #1400 to replace this with a NUT CI farm service to publish the tarballs

If our Buildbot instance is behaving, you can download a snapshot which does
not require auto* tools from this
link:http://buildbot.networkupstools.org/snapshots[builder].  Look for the
latest *[tarball]* link towards the top of the page, and be sure to check the
'Build ##' link to verify the branch name.

Java packages
-------------

- The jNut package has been split into its own
  link:https://github.com/networkupstools/jNut[GitHub repository].

- NUT Java support (client side, Beta)
  link:https://www.networkupstools.org/package/java/jNut-0.2-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz[jNUT 0.2-SNAPSHOT]

- NUT Java Web support (client side using REST, Beta)

Virtualization packages
-----------------------

VMware
~~~~~~

- NUT client for VMware ESXi (several versions of both; offsite, by René Garcia).
  Since the hypervisor manager environment lacks access to hardware ports, this
  package only includes the `upsmon` client integration, and a NUT server must
  run in a VM with passed-through ports.
+
See link:https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/NUT-and-VMware-(ESXi)[NUT
  and VMware (ESXi) page on NUT Wiki] for more community-contributed details.
+
Note that the VIB package versioning is independent of NUT or VMware versions,
  they are however mentioned in downloadable file names. As of this writing,
  there are builds spanning VMware ESXi 5.0-8.0 and NUT 2.7.4-2.8.0.
+
WARNING: This module is provided "as is" and is not approved by VMware,
you may lose VMware support if you install it. Use it at your own risks.
