This file, DEVEL-CVS, contains the policies by which the CVS
|
|
|
|
|
development group operates. Also see the HACKING file.

Policies regarding the CVS source repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By checking items into the repository, developers agree to permit
|
|
|
|
|
distribution of such items under the terms of the GNU Public License.

Procedure for dealing with people who want to be developers:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
People who want checkin access are first requested to send
|
1997-05-15 22:46:24 +00:00
|
|
|
patches and have them reviewed by a developer. If they submit some
|
|
|
|
|
good ones (preferably over a period of time, to demonstrate sustained
|
|
|
|
|
interest), then one of the developers can ask the devel-cvs mailing
|
|
|
|
|
list whether it is OK to make this person a developer (after first
|
|
|
|
|
sending the prospective developer a copy of this file and then having
|
|
|
|
|
the prospective developer say they want to be a developer). If there
|
1998-01-26 03:09:57 +00:00
|
|
|
are no objections, the person will be made a developer.

Policy regarding checkout-only access:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Checkout-only access to the CVS repository is available to all, on an
|
|
|
|
|
anonymous basis (no need for registration or other complications).
|
|
|
|
|
The exact technical mechanisms by which it is available are not
|
|
|
|
|
covered by this policy.
