Create a recipe for VcardPeople, two small contact converters
Haiku is a UNIX-like open source operating system that provides a tool called haikuporter to build 3rd party open source software.
A recipe in Haiku is a text file that the haikuporter tool reads in order to build open source software and create packages for it. The collection of recipes that may be built by haikuporter is called HaikuPorts.
If you are new to Haiku then you should probably start with these tasks:
The goal of this task is to write a recipe for VcardPeople.
The VCard format is an open standard used for storing and interchanging personal ("Business Card") data by applications on many platforms. The two small programs in this packaga will convert between this format and Haiku 'Person' files, making it possible to share contact data between Haiku and other platforms.
You can find the sources on the project homepage: http://www.goodeveca.net/beos/vcardpeople.zip
The recipe should be added to haikuports at haikuports/haiku-misc/vcardpeople/.
