Hello
since longer time I do work happy with LMDE2 and would like to know more about how to get into debugging and Support.
My preference is the Mate Desktop.
Github is not new for me, i just have a bit a trouble to see the overview of the whole LMDE distro config things.
Example, where can i find LMDE Mate info's about the Grub configuration and where would i have to make a request when i would like to propose a change?
Or Where would i check LMDE Mate specific configs?
How do i see the actual configuration stuff of an GTK specific application for LMDE?
Is there an official or unofficial IRC chanel of LMDE ?

I don't think the GRUB configuration is on GitHub. You can try talking to the Linux Mint developers on IRC in their channel #linuxmint-dev. See tips for how to best make use of #linuxmint-dev on http://projects.linuxmint.com/contributing.html. To join, just open HexChat from your menu and that will connect you to the Linux Mint IRC channels. Type
For any file that you want to find from which package it came (so you can figure out what GitHub repository to look in), you can run the command
You can find all the software developed by Linux Mint on GitHub here https://github.com/linuxmint. Some of our programs listed below.
MATE specific:
Looking in GitHub gets you the development version. If you want to see the exact files as used to build the software as installed currently on your system, you can download the source package for that. First open Software Sources from your menu, and make sure "Enable source code repositories" is marked. Then click "Update the cache". This allows for downloading source for packages. Then you can use the command
/join #linuxmint-dev
there to open the #linuxmint-dev channel as well.For any file that you want to find from which package it came (so you can figure out what GitHub repository to look in), you can run the command
dpkg -S /path/to/file
to have your package manager check if it knows from which package that file was installed.You can find all the software developed by Linux Mint on GitHub here https://github.com/linuxmint. Some of our programs listed below.

What kind of configuration do you want to see? The build configuration? That is found in the GitHub project.ciaobello wrote:How do i see the actual configuration stuff of an GTK specific application for LMDE?

So i do believe that i have found something in that direction I'm looking for:

Just i would like it more specified for LMDE development. I will create a repository on github to share the knowledge afterwards.
Please just mention if you have something to contribute to LMDE2 or LMDE3 to keep things apart.
