If you are going to contribute and wish to be the part of ongoing development of BRL-CAD, you are highly recommended to read following introductory article to let you know the current roadmap of the project.

== I'm trying to add a new file to the repository and I get an error on commit about mime types.  What do I do? ==
  
=== I'm interested in BRL-CAD development. How can I get involved? ===
+
You either set up your subversion config to auto-set mime types or you directly set the mime type on the file before you commit the file using svn propset.
  
* Join the IRC channel #brlcad at irc.libera.chat and/or the [http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/brlcad-devel developer mailing list]
+
Sean provides a copy of his Subversion config file that accounts for many mime types. You can download and install it with this:
* Read the [https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/blob/main/HACKING developer's guide]
 
* Start submitting [https://github.com/BRL-CAD/brlcad/pulls pull requests]
 
  
=== I'm trying to add a new file to the repository and I get an error on commit about mime types. What should I do? ===
+
'''curl http://brlcad.org/~sean/subversion.config > ~/.subversion/config'''
  
You should set the mime type. See [[mime-types]] for more information.

This problem usually looks like this:
  
== Developer Examples ==

Transmitting file data ...svn: Commit failed (details follow):
 
+
svn: MERGE request failed on '/svnroot/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/regress'
* [[Example_libbu|Linking against a library]]
+
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:

+
brlcad/trunk/regress/some_new_file.c : svn:mime-type is not set
 
+
== Development Tips ==
+
* [[Compiling]]
+
    Every added file must have the svn:mime-type property set. In
* [[Emacs]]
+
    addition text files must have the svn:eol-style property set.
* [[SVN+SSH]]
+
   
 
+
    For binary files try running
== Development Projects ==
+
    svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream path/of/file
 
+
   
* [[Online Geometry]]
+
    For text files try
** [[OGV|Online Geometry Viewer Project]]
+
    svn propset svn:mime-type text/plain path/of/file
*** [[OGV_on_FreeBSD]]
+
    svn propset svn:eol-style native path/of/file
** [http://more.brlcad.org/ BRL-CAD Model Repository]
+
   
* New GUI
+
    You may want to consider uncommenting the auto-props section
** [[OpenGL GUI Framework]]
+
    in your ~/.subversion/config file. Read the Subversion book
* Geometry Engine / Server
+
    (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/), Chapter 7, Properties section,
** [[BRL-CAD's core C++ interface]]
+
    Automatic Property Setting subsection for more help.
