Compiling the latest code

+

+You can get the latest code from the public git repo on freedesktop. +

+
+git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/packagekit
+git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/gnome-packagekit
+
+

+If you want to commit changes or a new backend, then please email the +mailing list and we can give you access to a developer server. +The developer server is always up to date, and the anonymous git is synced +about twice a day. +Having a two tier server lets developers review code for correctness and +security problems before it's used in the real world. +
