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:

• [New to Haiku? Do this one first] Install and Run Haiku
• Install and run HaikuPorter

The goal of this task is to write a recipe for jigit, a set of tools to work with jigdo files.

Jigdo files are files generated by the jigdo utility (see task "Create a recipe for jigdo"), which is used to distribute CD and DVD images.

You can find the sources on the project homepage: http://www.einval.com/~steve/software/JTE/

You can also browse the sources on https://git.einval.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=jigit.git

The recipe should be added to haikuports at haikuports/app-misc/jigit/.

Important: please read the generic instructions for "recipe" tasks, as we have a lot of these: https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/GoogleCodeInTaskRecipe

Available time is only 4 days but it can be increased on request.
