Also see the HACKING file. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Charter for the devel-cvs mailing list: + +The CVS Developers' List <devel-cvs@cyclic.com> exists to help people +with access to the CVS source repository co-ordinate changes, make +releases, and administer the repository. + +Everyone who has been given checkin access to the repository for the +CVS sources should read devel-cvs. Only those with checkin access may +send messages to the list. + +The devel-cvs list may be used to discuss: +- administrivia regarding the CVS source repository and release + process, and +- changes and features intended for inclusion in the official CVS + release (either source code or documentation), which someone plans + to implement, or has implemented. + +The devel-cvs list should not be used to discuss: +- changes or features to packages other than the CVS release + (e.g., related packages like tkCVS, RAD/CVS, or other groups' + distributions of CVS, like RCVS, etc.), +- changes which nobody has offered to implement, or +- the philosophy of CVS (as opposed to a specific change to CVS). +These topics should either go on info-cvs, or have a new mailing list +created for them. + +The topic restrictions in this charter do not reflect the development +group's future plans for CVS; rather, they reflect a topic +classification which the group finds helpful. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +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 (checkout-only access is available primarily +via snapshots, for technical reasons) 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 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 +are no objections, an account will be created. |
