Welcome to the SCons development tree. Here's a brief guide (not guaranteed to be up-to-date) to what you'll find herein: admin/ Documentation of SCons administrative procedures. Maybe other administrative stuff in the future. build/ This doesn't exist if you're looking at a vanilla source tree. This is generated as part of our build process, and it's where, believe it or not, we *build* everything. Construct The "Makefile" for the SCons distribution. Yes, we're using Cons to build its improved stepchild. (Of course, this will change to an SConstruct file as soon as we have SCons to the point where it can handle the functionality we need...) config The Aegis configuration, governing much of how we use Aegis to build, test, control source, etc. etc/ A subdirectory for miscellaneous things that we need. Right now, it has copies of Python modules that we use for testing, and which we don't want to force people to have to install on their own just to help out with SCons development. runtest.py Script for running our tests. By default, this will run a test against the code in the local src/ tree, so you don't have to do a build before testing your changes. Aegis uses it with an option that requires that you've done a build (aeb) before running tests. src/ Where the actual source code is kept, of course. template/ Template files, used by Aegis to give you a head start when you aenf or aent a new file. I haven't been keeping these up to date... test/ End-to-end tests of the SCons utility itself. These are separate from the individual module unit tests, which live side-by-side with the modules under src/.
