Welcome to the ACPI Project on Netlabs
This is the development and support home for ACPI Project.
This page is in v0.0.0 format. Many of the links on this page do not yet go anywhere useful. This will get better over time.
The current ACPI driver release is version 3.9.
Users
The ACPI FAQ contains answers to your questions.
See Getting the most from ACPI for hints from the power users.
The ACPI Tools page contains a wealth of information an links.
Currently, ACPI Switches by System is probably the best place to go to check if your motherboard or system is already supported by the ACPI driver.
Eventually, this information will be integrated into theCompatible Systems database. The information will also be available sort by brand.
Binaries
New releases and testcase builds are available from the eComStation BetaZone. Log in to Mensys with your Mensys login id and click the Downloads link. Click the "Software Subscription Services for eComStation" Download link and the ACPI drivers should be listed.
You can access the BetaZone from your [www.ecomstation.com eComStation] login, but the ACPI download may not appear
New releases are announced on the mailing list and elsewhere.
Submitting Tickets
You must be logged into TRAC to create tickets. Please login with your Netlabs login id.
If you do not have a login id, please login as user 'guest' and password 'netlabs'. To request a Netlabs login id send an e-mail to Netlabs Community Mailing List.
If you login as guest, please put your name in the ticket description. This makes it easier to correlate tickets and mailing list threads. It's also nice to know who we are communicating with.
Before entering a ticket, please read How to collect logs.
Collect the data that applies to your issue and include it with the ticket.
Milestones and Versions
When entering tickets, you will be asked to provide a version and a milestone.
The TRAC documentation defines these terms as
- Version - Version of the project that this ticket pertains to.
- Milestone - When this issue should be resolved at the latest.
For new tickets, the version will default to current ACPI version (i.e. 3.09). If you are reporting for some other version, please override the default. If you are opening the ticket for testcase release, please note the testcase version in the ticket summmary.
The milestone will default to the next scheduled ACPI version release (i.e. 3.10).
Genernally, once a ticket is opened, the version should not be changed. If the issue is not resolved, the milestone will be changed to reflect when the ticket is expected to be resolved.
Tickets will be closed as resolved when the reported issue is fully resolved. A ticket is considered resolved when the reporter states that the issue no longer occurs.
If a ticket can not be not resolved for the current version, the ticket will left open and the milestone will changed.
When an issue is corrected by code changes, it is recommended that ticket is updated to show the Subversion changeset number.

Developers
Getting the sources
In addition to browsing the sources here, you can check out the sources with your favorite subversion client.
Keep in mind that, unlike cvs, tags and branches are ordinary directories in subversion. With the typical subversion respository layout, it is rather easy to checkout more than you probably intend to. To pull just the trunk version, use something like
mkdir acpi_workspace cd acpi_workspace svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/acpi/trunk trunk
To update your workspace with the current repository content, use
cd acpi_workspace\trunk svn update
Driver developers that wish to make their drivers ACPI compliant will find the ACPI toolkit useful.

As all Wiki pages, this page is editable, this means that you can modify the contents of this page simply by using your web-browser. Simply click on the "Edit this page" link at the bottom of the page. WikiFormatting will give you a detailed description of available Wiki formatting commands.
"trac-admin yourenvdir initenv" created a new Trac environment, containing a default set of wiki pages and some sample data. This newly created environment also contains documentation to help you get started with your project.
You can use trac-admin to configure Trac to better fit your project, especially in regard to components, versions and milestones.
TracGuide is a good place to start.
