Experimental Patches

There are some experimental patches that are not yet ready to be included into Haiku's svn repository, but that need a larger base of testing. If you are a building your own Haiku build and you are used to live on the edge, then you might be interested in trying out these patches.

Currently the following patches are added:

• The ​Stack & Tile patch, originally by Hong Yul Yang, formely by Christof Lutteroth.

Instructions: Checking out and Building

Note that these instructions are meant for users that are already familiar with building Haiku. If you are not familiar with that, please follow ​the instructions and do a vanilla build first.

Requirements

• A configuration that can build Haiku (either on Linux, the BSDs or Haiku itself).
• ​Mercurial

Configuration

Enable the mq extension by opening ~/.hgrc and adding these lines:
