SOC: getting a CVS account
SOC students, if you don't already have a Gnome CVS account, you
should apply for one. You can find instructions on how to apply
at:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/policies/accounts/requesting.html
Before you apply, you should familiarize yourself with:
http://developer.gnome.org/tools/cvs.html
When you apply, ask for an account with full commit access, and
include an explanation something like, "I am a Google Summer of
Code student working on a project involving GIMP, and I am applying
with the approval of Sven Neumann, the maintainer of GIMP".
Please CC me on the email you send to accounts@gnome.org asking for
access -- I'm not certain that all the SOC students are on this
list, so it's the only way I can find out if anybody has been
left out. And please let me know if you have any problems --
the system has sometimes been glitchy in the past.
Finally, a caution: full CVS access gives you write access to
every module in Gnome. Please don't abuse it -- don't commit
any changes without having discussed them with the maintainer of
a package or some other authority.
-- Bill
