Most development happens in the cports repository, which provides all

On top of that, the project develops various standalone tools that can be used elsewhere, which have their own repositories, such as:
- Chimerautils
- Dinit-chimera
- Turnstile
- CKMS
- and so on.
Package builds
We use Buildbot as a central buildsystem that
picks up changes from cports and builds them for all official architectures.
The web interface is available here.
Package database
The package database is searchable here.
Central repository
The repository is available here. It has
all of our packages, as well as live images, tarballs and static binaries
