    <para>This information is provided primarily for Shorewall developers.

  <section>
    <title>Git Taxonomy</title>

    <para>The Shorewall Git tree at Sourceforge serves as the master
    repository for Shorewall 4.4 and later versions. It is not possible to
    simply export a directory from Git and run the
    <command>install.sh</command> script in that directory. A build step is
    required to produce a directory that is suitable for the
    <command>install.sh</command> script to run in.</para>

    <section>
      <title>trunk</title>

      <para>The development branch of each product is kept here.</para>

      <itemizedlist>
        <listitem>
          <para>Shorewall-core.</para>
        </listitem>

          <para>Shorewall-init</para>
        </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>

      <para>There are also several other directories which are described in
      the following sub-sections.</para>

      <section>
        <title>trunk/docs</title>

        <para>The stable release XML documents. Depending on the point in the
        release cycle, these documents may also apply to the current
        development version.</para>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>tools</title>

      <para>This is where the release and build tools are kept. There are two
      subordinate directories:</para>

      <variablelist>
        <varlistentry>
          <term>trunk/tools/build</term>

          <listitem>
            <para>Tools for building and uploading new releases.</para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>

        <varlistentry>
          <term>trunk/tools/web</term>

          <listitem>
            <para>Tools for publishing web content</para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>
      </variablelist>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>web</title>

      <para>The files from the web site that are maintained in HTML format.
      are kept in this directory.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>release</title>

      <para>Added in Shorewall 4.4.22, this directory contains the files that
      contain release-dependent information (change.txt, releasenotes.txt,
      .spec files, etc). This is actually a symbolic link to ../release which
      has it's own Git repository.</para>
    </section>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Build Tools</title>

    <para>As described above, the build tools are kept in <filename
    class="directory">trunk/tools/build.</filename> They are described in the
    following sections.</para>

    <section>
      <title>setversion</title>

      <para>The <command>setversion</command> script updates the version
      number in a directory. The script is run with the current working
      directory being <filename class="directory">release</filename>.</para>

      <blockquote>
        <para><command>setversion</command>
        <replaceable>version</replaceable></para>
      </blockquote>

      <para>The <replaceable>version</replaceable> may either be a minor
      version or a patch version.</para>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>build</title>

      <para>This is the script that builds Shorewall 4.4 packages from
      Git.</para>

      <para>The script copies content from Git using the <command>git
      archive</command> command. It then uses that content to build the
      packages. In addition to the usual Gnu utilities, the following software
      is required:</para>

      <variablelist>
        <varlistentry>
          <term>rpmbuild</term>

          <listitem>

      </variablelist>

      <para>You should ensure that you have the latest scripts. The scripts
      change periodically as we move through the release cycles.</para>

      <para>The build44 script may need to be modified to fit your particular
      environment. There are a number of variables that are set near the top
      of the file:</para>

      <variablelist>

      <para>The scripts assume that there will be a separate <firstterm>build

      the appropriate directory and run the build script.</para>

      <para>The general form of the build command is:</para>
