Subversion commit access requires an account on Morris. The server +behind busybox.net and uclibc.org. If you want to be able to commit things to +Subversion, first contribute some stuff to show you are serious, can handle +some responsibility, and that your patches don't generally need a lot of +cleanup. Then, very nicely ask one of us (Rob +Landley for BusyBox, or Erik +Andersen for uClibc) for an account.
-If you want to be able to commit things to Subversion, first contribute some -stuff to show you are serious. Then, very nicely ask Erik Andersen if he will set you up -with an commit access to the Subversion repository. To access Subversion, you -will want to add the following to set up your environment: +If you're approved for an account, you'll need to send an email from your +preferred contact email address with the username you'd like to use when +committing changes to SVN, and attach a public ssh key to access your account +with.
-+
If you don't currently have an ssh version 2 DSA key at least 1024 bits +long (the default), you can generate a key using the +command ssh-keygen -t dsa and hitting enter at the prompts. This +will create the files ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub +You must then send the content of 'id_dsa.pub' to me so I can set up your +account. (The content of 'id_dsa' should of course be kept secret, anyone +who has that can access any account that's installed your public key in +its .ssh/authorized_keys file.)
-To obtain commit access, you will need to demonstrate you are serious by -submitting a few good patches first. Then, you will need to select a username -to use when committing changes to SVN, you will need to send me the username -you have selected, you must send me your preferred contact email address, and -finally, you must send me an ssh version 2 DSA key with 1024 bits (the default) -or more. If you do not currently have an ssh version 2 DSA key, you can -generate a key using the commandssh-keygen -t dsaThis will -create the files
/home/<USERNAME>/.ssh/id_dsa -/home/<USERNAME>/.ssh/id_dsa.pubYou must then send the content -of 'id_dsa.pub' to me so I can setup your account. The content of 'id_dsa' -should of course be kept secret. +
Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with us +private, you can encrypt your email using +Rob's public key or +Erik's public +key.

Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to +checkout a copy of BusyBox from Subversion:
-Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with me -private, you can encrypt your email using my -public key. +svn checkout svn+ssh://username@busybox.net/svn/trunk/busybox
+or
+svn checkout svn+ssh://username@uclibc.org/svn/trunk/uclibc
-+
You must change username to your own username, or omit +it if it's the same as your local username.
-Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to -checkout a copy of BusyBox from Subversion: +You can then enter the newly checked out project directory, make changes, +check your changes, diff your changes, revert your changes, and and commit your +changes using commands such as:
--svn list svn+ssh://username@svn.uclibc.org/svn/trunk/busybox-
- -You can then enter the newly checked out BusyBox directory, make changes, check -your changes, diff your changes, revert your changes, and and commit your -changes usine commands such as: - -
+-svn diff svn status svn revert -svn commit+EDITOR=vi svn commit +svn log -v -r PREV:HEAD +svn help +

+A morris account also gives you a personal web page +(http://busybox.net/~username comes from ~/public_html on morris), and of +course a shell prompt you can ssh into (as a regular user, root access is +reserved for Erik and Rob). But keep in mind an account on Morris is a +priviledge, not a requirement. Most contributors to busybox and uClibc +haven't got one, and accounts are handed out to make the project maintainers' +lives easier, not because "you deserve it".
