Due to maintenance, the source code viewer is temporarily unavailable. We apologise for the inconvenience.

The Kiwi Source Code is still available, see the Wiki for details.

Update: The source code viewer is now available again.

Lead developer Alex Smith is now providing monthly developer updates on his blog. A few entries are already available, and the blog can always be accessed via the link on the right hand side of the homepage.

The Kiwi Project wishes you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Recently the Kiwi Project has switched to using Mercurial for the source code repository. This change takes effect immediately.

You can check out the source code with Mercurial by following the instructions in the wiki, and view it using the Source Code link above.

A number of major changes to the Kiwi build system have been made recently, resulting in some changes to the builing instructions. These instructions are being updated, but in brief, the changes are:

• You may now use versions of SCons later than 1.2.0, if you wish
• You no longer require libnewt, snack, SLang or associated packages as the old newt based menu system has been removed
• You now require ncurses and associated development libraries to build the new lxdialog based menu system

Please ensure that your build configuration is correct after updating your source code copy with the new menu system.

Update (17/08/2010): All instructions are now updated and correct.
