aSmack - buildsystem for Smack on Android

This repository doesn't contain much code, it's a build environment!

Tracking trunk can be hard. Doing massive changes on top of trunk can be near impossible. We are mixing 6 open source projects to provide a working xmpp library for Android. All trunk-based.

This repository contains a source fetching, patching and building script. As well as all the minor changes to make an Android version fly. See the patches/ folder for a detailed list of changes and scripts.

Compiled JARs

Can be found @ http://asmack.freakempire.de/

Make sure to read the README for every release.

Contribution

If possible, please base patches on smack, not on aSmack. You can use the 'upstream' branch from smack @ github. Only in some cases the 'master' branch should be used.

If your code follows Smack's contributor guidelines, is good documented and comes with some testcases, then it's possible to commit it upstream. Simply join ##smack @ freenode and ask for a code review.

Contributors

We do not keep a seperate CONTRIBUTORS file, and we discourage @author tags. However you're free to add your full name to every git commit, and we will preserver this. Let us know if you've helped on non-technical stuff and we'll find a way to give you the deserved credit.
