   9
  10     The <A HREF="http://sane.alioth.debian.org/">SANE project</A> has
  11     a new CVS server available from the Debian Alioth service.  The
  12     old repository hosted by <A HREF="http://www.hungry.com/">The
  13     Hungry Programmers</A> is moved there.  See
  14     <a href="http://sane.alioth.debian.org/cvs.html">the new CVS
  15     page</a> for more inof on the new repository.
  16
  17 <H2>How to get write access to the CVS server</H2>
  18
  19 If you are an active SANE backend maintainer, you can get write access
  20 to the CVS server.  You will need to supply me a username and a unix passwd
  21 hash to feed into the CVS access list.  A simple program to do this is
  22 available from my <A HREF="../">linux and unix stuff</A> page.
  23
  24 <H2>Information to developers with CVS write access</H2>
  25
  26 When doing changes (commits) to the CVS repository, make sure you
  27 remember to include a <TT>ChangeLog</TT> entry.  The format is simple,
  28 with the date the change was commited to CVS, the name and email
  29 address of the one doing the commit, the list of files changed
  30 (ignoring <TT>ChangeLog</TT>), and a description of the change.
  31 Example:
  32
  33 <PRE>2000-03-06  Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@td.org.uit.no>
  34
  35         * configure.in configure: New version is 1.0.2.
  36 </PRE>
  37
  38 <P>When committing patches from other people, I usually add 'Patch
  39 from <name>.' to record where the change came from.
  40
  41 To make it easier to keep track of my own changes, I maintain a local
  42 <TT>ChangeLog.local</TT> where I list my local changes before I move
  43 the entry into the common <TT>ChangeLog</TT> and commit the change.
  44
  45 <P>Do not change other backends then your own.  If you find bugs in other
  46 backends, send a patch to the current backend maintainer or to the
  47 mailing list, and wait for the maintainer to commit the change.
  48
  49 <P>Global changes require consensus where David has the last word before
  50 updating the CVS repository.
  51
  52 <P>If you want to keep track of the changes to the CVS repository,
  53 subscribe to the mailing list sane-commit@list.uit.no by sending an
  54 email to
  55 <A HREF="mailto:sane-commit-request@list.uit.no">sane-commit-request@list.uit.no</A>
  56 with body 'subscribe'.
