Introduction
Unlike SME10 and earlier, SME11 is being developed using cutting edge 21st century tools. This means that the (open) source code and associated file are stored in GIT repositories, surfaced through a Gitea server which provides a web based User Interface as well as an API. Rpm and ISO builds are done using the Koji tool chain which has been developed for the Fedora distribution, but has become well used for other Open Source projects.
The intention is to mirror the Gitea sources to Github so that anyone can examine and propose changes. This is still a work in progress https://github.com/smeserver .
Setting up your build system
SME11 is based on Rocky 8, so the build system is best based on rocky 8 as well. It could be an SME11 system, but as we are still putting that together, the best choice for now is a minimal Rocky 8 system. This can be installed in a VM under ProxMox, VirtualBox or similar.
Suggest at least 4gb RAM and 50-100gb of Hard Disk.
Configure it according to your own preferences (lots of advice available on the web). Some more specific advice for SME11 building is here .
