Hi guys,

I’m planning to make some changes to the IronPython Silverlight hosting,  
to  
enable a writable virtual file system. So in order to do that I tried to  
set  
up a new development environment (virtual machine) from scratch, but ran  
into some issues.

The Wiki references a “deb.bat” file that will set up your environment (  
[http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/devbat](http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/devbat)), but the file doesn’t  
exist  
anymore in the source repository.

There is a dev.sh file, but it appears to have some merge issues in it  
(bunch of \>\>\>\>\>\>\> characters etc).

So my question is: is the github repository the main repository for  
IronRuby  
development? Is dev.sh the new dev.bat? Any other tips on getting  
started  
and building IronRuby? The change I’m planning to make is in the  
Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight assembly, which seams small enough and  
easy  
to follow, but I want to make sure I to this the proper way.

Cheers,  
Jonas

What are you using as your Origin (git remote -v will show you)?  
[http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/b871551d35c6cf7344694197b2d3931c0b041c6f/Scripts/Bat](http://github.com/ironruby/ironruby/tree/b871551d35c6cf7344694197b2d3931c0b041c6f/Scripts/Bat)  
shows a dev.bat and a psdev.ps1 in the repo.
