Welcome to the debshots development site

This is the Trac (wiki, project planner and issue tracker) for debshots. It's the software that screenshots.debian.net is running on. If you think you have found a bug or would like to file a wishlist request please login as "guest" with password "makeitso" and create a new ticket.

Source

'debshots' is open-source software. Feel free to check out the Git repository:

git clone  git://git.workaround.org/debshots.git

Versions

  • Version 1.x is based on  Pylons. It can be considered stable screenshots.debian.net runs on it (as of June 2011). This is the "v1" branch.
  • Version 2.x is based on  Pyramid (Pylons successor web framework). It's a complete rewrite. This is the "master" branch.

The new 2.x version is intended to have:

  • Complete documentation
  • Good code test coverage
  • More independence to support further (non-Debian-based) Linux distributions (generic database schema, modular importer)

Running your own instance

Of course you can run your own instance of debshots and start collecting screenshots. But please consider sharing our effort of collecting screenshots. The current plan is to make debshots work for all Linux-like distributions that offer software packages. So contact us on the mailing list and let's work together.

The debshots software was conceived and mainly developed by Christoph Haas. Further contributions were made by Paul Wise and Michael Vogt.
