29 <H3>Accessing the Busybox CVS Repository</H3>
31 <h2>CVS Read/Write Access</h2><p>
32 If you want to be able to commit things to CVS, first contribute some
33 stuff to show you are serious. Then, very nicely ask
34 <a href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if he will set you up with
35 an account. To access CVS, you will want to add the following to set up your environment:
37 $ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
38 $ export CVSROOT='username@busybox.net:/var/cvs'</pre>
40 It goes without saying you must change <em>username</em> to your own
44 To obtain commit access, you will need to demonstrate you are
45 serious by submitting a few good patches first. Then, you will need to
46 select a user-name to use when committing stuff, and finally, you will
47 need to either send me a crypted password, which you will use to connect
48 to the system, or send me an ssh key.
49 To create a crypted password, you can do something like the following (and
50 please remember to change your password to something other then<em>foo</em>!):
53 $ PASSWORD=foo perl -e 'srand ; @salt=(a..z,A..Z,0..9); \
54 print crypt($ENV{PASSWORD}, $salt[rand(62)].$salt[rand(62)]), "\n";'
58 If you'd like to use MD5 passwords instead, try something like the following:
61 $ PASSWORD=foo perl -e 'srand ; @salt=(a..z,A..Z,0..9); \
62 print crypt($ENV{PASSWORD}, "\$1\$".$salt[rand(62)].$salt[rand(62)]), "\n";'
63 <b>$1$Kp$rBBvl5cuAeJjJ6U1hCqpU1</b>
66 Then I take your crypted password as is (i.e., the output of either of
67 these commands), drop it into the cvs password file, and you are set to
70 Note that if your are really worried that others might see your crypted
71 password, or your ssh key, you can encrypt the email containing your
72 crypted password using my <a href="http://www.codepoet.org/~andersen/erik/gpg.asc">public key</a>.
