[gentoo-dev] CVS access

[gentoo-dev] CVS access

[Arcady Genkin]

What is the typical procedure to get CVS write access to the portage
tree?  I emailed drobbins@gentoo.org[1] about this a few days ago, but
have not heard back.

Today I've submitted a new ebuild (TMDA, bug 509), and a few updates
(bugs 507 and 424).  Tomorrow I'd like to add a few new ports, and
would also like to maintain them and the TMDA port in the future.  It
would be nice if I could do it in a less tedious way.  ;^)

I can be contacted at agenkin@thpoon.com.

My experience ,and opinion, on the matter is (drobbins please correct me
if I am mistaken or speaking out of place):

1. Demonstrate technical competence in the quality of your ebuilds
submitted to bugs.gentoo.org

2. Accumulate a sufficiently significant "portfolio" of contributions to
bugs.gentoo.org.  A good working definition of "sufficiently
significant" is that you generate enough extra work for the current
developers who have to commit and maintain your contributions that they
decide it would just make their life easier if you had CVS access.  Of
course, 2 implies 1, because if your contributions are not of high
quality they will more than likely be ignored. A few very high quality
and very "valuable" contributions would probably equal a greater number
of "ordinary" contributions.

3. Demonstrate stamina and commitment, i.e. paying your dues in the
unheralded, trenches of a "no CVS access" gentoo user. It would probably
be extremely disappointing, if you were granted CVS access, only to have
you disappear after a few months because you found a "cooler" or "more
interesting" project or activity with which to devote your time.

Management :)

Ok, I've look for this information, and I'm sure it's somewhere obvious,
but I can't seem to locate it. What do I need to know to get READ-ONLY
CVS access? I just want to pull down the latest CVS tree, but can't
quite find the information I need.

Thanks...

[gentoo-dev] CVS access

[Matteo Sasso]

Hello there, dev-guys! I'd like to commit a patch to the gentoo CVS 
repository, but I had some problems so far (maybe just 'cause it's my first 
time with cvs ^_^'). I couldn't find anything in the docs so... here it 
comes!
Is ":pserver:anonymous@gentoo.org:/home/anoncvs" fine for CVSROOT?
I tried "cvs login" but the server asks me for a password and just hitting 
ENTER doesn't work. Do I need an account? Even for read-only?

Thank you,
Teo.

Yes, anonymous CVS is not available for us (non-members of the dev team). 
Patches need to be sent through bugzilla (bugs.gentoo.org)

Hi,

I'm new to gentoo. But I was wanting to add some more packages that aren't 
already in portage. I thought the first thing I should do was get an anoncvs 
version of the portage tree so that my changes wouldn't be overwritten with 
rsync. I was following instructions found here: 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/portage-manual.html. Does this mean I can't do 
that? Is the manual outdated in its instructions because it doesn't mention 
requiring to be a dev member to get anonymous CVS access. Please clarify,
Jonathan

Yeah, that url is out of date.  I gather the reason that anoncvs has been
disabled is that it causes a major slowdown on the server.  The real solution
there is to set up a few anoncvs mirrors for the rest of us.  I don't know of
any plans to do so.

A temporary solution for you is to set up PORDIR_OVERLAY in your make.conf.
There are a few catches here too, since the only way to unmask a masked build
is to edit /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, which gets overwritten by emerge
sync.  Search google for PORTDIR_OVERLAY for more info.

IIRC anonymous CVS access has been disabled a while ago.

Blame me if I'm wrong,

[gentoo-dev] CVS access

[list]

I can see on the Web site the "cvs howto" and the browsable cvs archives.  
What I can't find is the information I need to access cvs from the cli.

What/where is this information?

Thanks.

There is currently no anonymous CVS access.

(This is not for policy reasons, but just because we don't currently 
have infrastructure in place to support it.)

[gentoo-dev] cvs access

[jensmh]

hi,

I would like to checkout the gentoo cvs tree.
Is this possible via anonymous cvs (if yes, how?)
or do I have to get an account?
I didn't find anything in the docs.

Cvs access is only available to the developers due to load problems. You 
can watch cvs through the web interface though.

Is there anybody working on vanilla-prepatch-sources (2.4.27pre5)?
I thought I had seen this in portage some months ago but couldn't find it anymore.
Are there ebuilds for the gentoo documentation? Since I've got only a dialup
internet connection it would be more comfortable for me to emerge the docs.

There are no ebuilds for the Gentoo docs, but you can safely use wget to
fetch them all. Don't forget to add --html-extension otherwise you would
have *.xml files which might not load correctly in your browser.

For instance:
  wget --html-extension --recursive --level=1 --page-requisites \
    --timestamping --convert-links --backup-converted \
    http://www.gentoo.doc/doc/en/index.xml

And the same for http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml
