Subversion Read/Write Access

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 command

ssh-keygen -t dsa

This will create the files

/home/<USERNAME>/ssh/id_dsa
/home/<USERNAME>/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

You 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 me private, you can encrypt your email using my public key.

Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to checkout a copy of uClibc from Subversion:

svn list svn+ssh://username@svn.uclibc.org/svn/trunk/uClibc

It goes without saying you must change username to your own username...

You can then enter the newly checked out uClibc 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
