How to get EFS

The Open Source version of EFS is very much a work in progress. At this point, we are looking to work individually with “friends and family” on this initial ALPHA release. What we mean is people we have worked with the product in its various incarnations in the corporate world and have enough technical knowledge to understand what we are attempting to do. We are looking to work directly with these friends to address installation and running issues.

Working with us

We are looking to have a fully-functioning release, with a real installation program sometime mid-to-late 2010. Until then, let us know if you are interested in working with us via the mailing lists (use the EFS-Users list). if you think you fit into this category and we will work with you on getting this ALPHA release installed. We will work with you closely if you are approved from that list.

Getting the code

If you still want to get the code for this initial ALPHA release of EFS, you need to have Git installed on your host. Then, clone the repository, as shown below.

  ##  the git protocol is the preferred method
  git clone git://git.openefs.org/efs-core.git
 
  ##  if you don't have access to git's default port number (9418), you can use the (slower) http protocol
  git clone http://git.openefs.org/efs-core

EFS committers have the ability to push changes back to openefs.org, and should clone the repository using:

  git clone git@git.openefs.org:efs-core.git
