Fedora Infrastructure CVS
The Fedora Infrastructure CVS repository holds such things as the fedora.redhat.com website, the Fedora Core "fedora-release" sources, and a mirror list manager project.
You can request write access by applying for membership in the cvsfedora group in the Fedora Account System . Furthermore, you must be approved and added to the appropriate ACLs. Normally, write access is granted only to those who are known and have established a prior need to commit to one of the modules in this repository. As a measure to prove yourself, you can always send us patches created using anonymous read-only access. You can file bugs and submit patches against Fedora Infrastructure using Bugzilla . More information can be found in the Bugs section of the Infrastructure page.
CVS Checkout Instructions
To get access to a CVS tree for anonymous read-only access, you will need to do the following:
- Set your CVSROOT environment variable:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/fedora
.png){kind=small}
cvs.devel.redhat.com, is no longer correct.- Log into the CVS server using an empty password:
cvs login
~-Just press 'Enter' when asked for a password.-~
- Checkout the desired module.
cvs co <module>
Where '<module>' is replaced with the desired module name. If you don't know the module name, try viewing the available modules using ViewCVS (see the next section) online.
Following these steps will check out the desired module as a subdirectory of the current directory.
Using Write Access
Do you have write access? If so, you can follow the directions above to checkout the source, but make the following changes:
- Tell CVS to use SSH tunneling:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
- Use your account over SSH rather than 'anonymous' with 'pserver' for the CVS root:
export CVSROOT=:ext:<youraccountname>@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/fedora
Where '<youraccountname>' is replace with the name of your account in the Fedora Account System .
You can then commit your changes back to the CVS repository, assuming you have the necessary access.
