Accessing the uClinux Repository via CVS

CVS Read/Write Access

If you want to be able to commit things to CVS, first contribute some stuff to show you are serious. Then, very nicely ask Patrick Maille if he will set you up with an account. To access CVS you have two choices: pserver, or ssh.

If you want to use pserver, you will want to add the following to set up your environment:

$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:username@cvs.uclinux.org:/var/cvs' 

If you want to use ssh, you will want to add the following to set up your environment:

$ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
$ export CVSROOT='username@cvs.uclinux.org:/var/cvs'

To obtain commit access, you will need to do the following

• decide if you want to use ssh or pserver to access CVS.
• select a user-name to use when committing stuff
• If you are using pserver, I will need a crypted password
• If you are using ssh, I will need a crypted password, or an ssh public key.

To create a crypted password, you can do something like the following (and please remember to change your password to something other thanfoo!):

$ PASSWORD=foo perl -e 'srand ; @salt=(a..z,A..Z,0..9); \
    print crypt($ENV{PASSWORD}, $salt[rand(62)].$salt[rand(62)]), "\n";'
