Getting Help

So something didn't work as you expected it to? You think that Continuum is broken. What should you do?

Here's an list of actions that you can take:

Search the user-list archives

Someone else might have experienced the same problem as you before. A list of mail-archives can be found on this page. Please search one of them before going any further.

Ask on the user list

Our community is very helpful, just ask it the right way. See the references section, at the end of this page, for info on how to do that. Subscribe to the users-list and describe your problem there. Don't expect to get an answer right away. Sometimes it takes a couple of days.

Submit an issue

If it turns out that there is indeed something wrong with Continuum, you should report it to our issue management system JIRA.

First of all you need to create an account in JIRA. This is so that we can communicate with you while we work together on the issue. Go here to create an account if you don't already have one.

How?

Just describing the problem is not enough. It takes a developer a lot of time to make a usable environment to even attempt to assess the problem. Issues that states problems without something usable to try out will be closed as incomplete.

Please attach all you can (screen copy, logs, environment description...), that we'll help us to understand your issue. We appreciate reports, but if you don't have something usable for us it's incredibly hard for us to manage the issues.

What we like best are patches that fixes the problem. If you want to create a patch for an issue please read this document first.

Guide to helping with Continuum

As with any open source project, there are several ways you can help:

Join the mailing list and answer other user's questions
Report bugs, feature requests and other issues in the issue tracking application.
Build Continuum for yourself, in order to fix bugs.
Submit patches to reported issues (both those you find, or that others have filed)
Developer reference docs for the latest snapshot can be found starting here.
Javadoc is available, including UMLGraph diagrams at the class and package level.
Help with the documentation by pointing out areas that are lacking or unclear, and if you are so inclined, submitting patches to correct it. You can quickly contribute rough thoughts to the wiki, or you can volunteer to help collate and organise information that is already there.

Your participation in the community is much appreciated!

Why Would I Want to Help?

There are several reasons these are good things.

By answering other people's questions, you can learn more for yourself
By submitting your own fixes, they get incorporated faster
By reporting issues, you ensure that bugs don't get missed, or forgotten
You are giving back to a community that has given you software for free

How do I Join the Project?

Projects at Apache operate under a meritocracy, meaning those that the developers notice participating to a high extent will be invited to join the project as a committer.

This is as much based on personality and ability to work with other developers and the community as it is with proven technical ability. Being unhelpful to other users, or obviously looking to become a committer for bragging rights and nothing else is frowned upon, as is asking to be made a committer without having contributed sufficiently to be invited.

Developer's Conventions

There are a number of conventions used in the project, which contributors and developers alike should follow for consistency's sake.

Security Vulnerabilities

Please note that binary patches are not produced for individual vulnerabilities. To obtain the binary fix for a particular vulnerability you should upgrade to an Apache Continuum version where that vulnerability has been fixed.

CVE-2011-0533: Apache Continuum cross-site scripting vulnerability

A request that included a specially crafted request parameter could be used to inject arbitrary HTML or Javascript into the Continuum user management page and project details pages. This fix is available in version 1.3.7 of Apache Continuum. All users must upgrade to this version (or higher).

Versions Affected:

Continuum 1.3.6
Continuum 1.4.0 (Beta)
The unsupported versions Continuum 1.1 - 1.2.3.1 are also affected.

CVE-2010-3449: Apache Continuum CSRF vulnerability

Apache Continuum doesn't check which form sends credentials. An attacker can create a specially crafted page and force Continuum administrators to view it and change their credentials. To fix this, a referrer check was added to the security interceptor for all secured actions. A prompt for the administrator's password when changing a user account was also set in place. This fix is available in version 1.3.7 of Apache Continuum. All users must upgrade to this version (or higher).

Versions Affected:

Continuum 1.3.6
Continuum 1.4.0 (Beta)
The unsupported versions Continuum 1.1 - 1.2.3.1 are also affected.

Overview

-This project uses Subversion to manage its source code. Instructions on Subversion use can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.

Web Access

The following is a link to the online source repository.

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/continuum/trunk

Anonymous access

The source can be checked out anonymously from SVN with this command:

$ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk continuum

Developer access

Everyone can access the Subversion repository via HTTP, but Committers must checkout the Subversion repository via HTTPS.

$ svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk continuum

To commit changes to the repository, execute the following command to commit your changes (svn will prompt you for your password)

$ svn commit --username your-username -m "A message"

Access from behind a firewall

For those users who are stuck behind a corporate firewall which is blocking HTTP access to the Subversion repository, you can try to access it via the developer connection:

$ svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/continuum/trunk continuum

Access through a proxy

The Subversion client can go through a proxy, if you configure it to do so. First, edit your "servers" configuration file to indicate which proxy to use. The file's location depends on your operating system. On Linux or Unix it is located in the directory "~/.subversion". On Windows it is in "%APPDATA%\Subversion". (Try "echo %APPDATA%", note this is a hidden directory.)

There are comments in the file explaining what to do. If you don't have that file, get the latest Subversion client and run any command; this will cause the configuration directory and template files to be created.

Example: Edit the 'servers' file and add something like:
