Portal Usage Guide

This guide provides a high level description about how to use the portal.

Accessing the portal

Accessing a project's source code as an anonymous user

Not every project includes a source code repository. As well, anonymous access is only available through the Web interface; access through a Subversion client program requires Community membership.

To access the source code as an anonymous user:

  1. Using the Foundry27 Navigation Bar, from the "Projects" menu, select a project to browse to that project's home page.
  2. Click the "Source Code" link below the Navigation Bar.
  3. Select the repository you want to browse by clicking on the radio button to the left of the repository name.
  4. Click the "View Commits" button to the right.
  5. Click "Browse Repository" at the bottom right of the "Repository Details" area.
  6. Navigate through the repository by clicking on the folders and files listed under the "File" column.

Accessing a project's source code through a Subversion client program

Not every project includes a source code repository. In addition, access through a Subversion client program requires Community membership.

To access the source code though a Subversion client program:

  1. Using the Foundry27 Navigation Bar, from the "Projects" menu, select a project to browse to that project's home page.
  2. Click the "Source Code" link below the Navigation Bar.
  3. Locate the repository that you want access to, and review the text that displays under the "Checkout Command" field. This checkout command indicates the command line text that you require in order to gain access to the repository. Use your myQNX account password to access this repository.

Accessing the build for a project

Every project is free to determine the time interval between its builds, as well as the quality criteria used to declare a good build.

To access the builds for a project:

  1. Using the Foundry27 Navigation Bar, from the "Projects" menu, select a project to browse to that project's home page.
