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 +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 other CVS +developers, usually via the bug-cvs@nongnu.org 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 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. |
