Add a link to the SCM in the FAQ

Post by krichter »

https://noscript.net/faq doesn't contain the search term `source code` and `SCM`.

Source Code Management, or Source Control Management.

Sorry krichter, there is no official public repo. Development all belongs to Giorgio. Feel free to submit patches, though; he usually welcomes them.

There is an unofficial, but apparently (auto-)updated repository on Github, but I doubt Giorgio will include it in the FAQ.

OK thanks. Regarding the search term 'source code', it's all in the XPI, what about adding instructions for disassembling the XPI? It's not that hard: change the extension to .zip and unzip it, then do the same for the inner .jar file...

So maybe that's not a frequently asked question but possibly worth a mention.. somewhere.

Depending on your operating system, you may even be able to unzip without changing the extension (eg the Ubuntu archive manager is aware of XPI, JAR, and various other such formats).
