= Successful Port How To =

This page describes how to establish and maintain a port that lives in the [http://webkit.org/building/checkout.html main Subversion repository] of the WebKit project, as well as the benefits to doing so.

Obviously you are free to create your own external repository, but if it's publicly available, please consider creating a wiki page for it under the "WebKit Ports" section of the [wiki:"WikiStart" start page].

== What is a Port? ==

A port of WebKit is a unique combination of platform technologies that run the WebKit engine.

The most common difference between ports is the operating system that they run on (e.g., Apple's Mac OS X and Windows ports), but in other cases two ports may run on the same operating system but use different graphics (or other) platform technologies (e.g., the Qt and GTK+ ports on Linux).
