Welcome to the CarPCgarage.com CVS Repository.
If you're looking for a Windows-based CVS client, we recommend WinCvs. It is available at http://www.wincvs.org. We recommend using version WinCvs 2.0.2.3 (Build 3) or later.
The correct setting for CVSROOT for project contributors is:
:pserver:(your_username)@cvs.carpcgarage.com:2401/home/cvs
Source distributions of the CVS repository will be made available on a semi-regular basis. The only supported method of obtaining the source for non-contributors is to visit the Downloads page at: http://www.carpcgarage.com/download.html
We have submitted a technical session proposal to the 2007 JavaOne conference titled: "Rev Up Your Car PC with Java Technology". The purpose of the presentation is to show the role of Java technology in the Car PC environment. We also intend to perform a live demonstration of the open-source CarPCgarage.com software if accepted. Check back mid-to-late February for an update on our status!
UPDATE: JavaOne presentation outline, sample slides and more details are now available HERE!
Status Icons are now available! Any component can issue status messages to the status manager, and the CarPCgarage.com application will automatically notify the user using a status icon in the header of the application.
Does your Car PC (like most) only have limited internet connectivity? Need to optimize the bandwidth available to synchronize your latest MP3s and video content? Then you'll love the "Bandwidth Optimizer" feature, which allows you to prioritize your downloads on a component by component basis. Check back at the beginning of March for an update on this feature!
Need multiple applications or components to share your single GPS receiver? The "GPS Server" feature will allow you read NMEA coordinates from your GPS module and then re-broadcast the messages in real-time to any interested applications, effectively allowing you to share GPS location information with a variety of simultaneously running applications. Check back mid-March for an update on this feature!
Soon you'll be able to initiate phone calls from the Contacts component using your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Check back mid-April for an update on this feature!
