Deluge Forum

Hi, I'd like to start contributing to deluge, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I think I have found a minor issue with the readme.

to install, I copied the line in the readme to install the build dependencies, then ran
The installation fails because there is no deluge/ui/data/share/applications/deluge.desktop. I found the reason for this is that intltool was not installed and hence deluge.desktop.in was not processed. Installing intltool fixes the problem; intltool is listed as a dependency on the website, but for some reason it is missing from the list of build dependencies in the readme.

I'm not really sure what to do from here; I could make a patch, but it seems a bit trivial for that.

I know python, but I'm new to this project and open source in general so any advice on getting started would be appreciated.

The readme does mention that DEPENDS has the full listing however I will make a note to change that apt line.

The best way to get started is to pick a small area and work from there. The wiki has quite a bit of documentation but you can also drop by the IRC chan.

Note there are two main branches in git:

• 1.3-stable is the current major release and generally contains just bugfix commits.
• master is for continuing development work so has many new features applied that will eventually lead to next major release.
