<h3>Morris Dancing</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 (<a href="mailto:rob@landley.net">Rob
|
|
Landley</a> for BusyBox, or <a href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik
|
|
Andersen</a> for uClibc) for an account.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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 <b>ssh-keygen -t dsa</b> and hitting enter at the prompts. This
|
|
will create the files <b>~/.ssh/id_dsa</b> and <b>~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub</b>
|
|
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 <b>.ssh/authorized_keys</b> file.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with us
|
|
private, you can encrypt your email using
|
|
<a href="http://landley.net/pubkey.gpg">Rob's public key</a> or
|
|
<a href="http://www.codepoet.org/andersen/erik/gpg.asc">Erik's public
|
|
key</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to
|
|
checkout a copy of BusyBox from Subversion:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>svn checkout svn+ssh://username@busybox.net/svn/trunk/busybox</b></p>
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
<p><b>svn checkout svn+ssh://username@uclibc.org/svn/trunk/uclibc</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You must change <em>username</em> to your own username, or omit
|
|
it if it's the same as your local username.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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:</p>
|
|
|
|
<b><pre>
|
|
svn diff
|
|
svn status
|
|
svn revert
|
|
EDITOR=vi svn commit
|
|
svn log -v -r PREV:HEAD
|
|
svn help
|
|
</pre></b>

|
|
|
|
<p>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".</p>
