This file, DEVEL-CVS, contains the policies by which the CVS
development group operates. 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 General 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.
