Frequently Asked Questions - Source Code


I tried the SVN URLs on berliOS but I get an error.

berliOS uses a template for indicating the SVN URLs. As we have more than 1 sub-project, please use the links indicated here.

I want to commit something, but I don't have write access.

In order to keep a high quality for the code, only a limited number of maintainers have modification permissions. Each is responsible for checking if new patches work properly and for the administration of the sub-projects. Please post your patches to the mailing-lists and they will be checked and applied. If you are an active contributor and you demonstrate that your patches can be trusted, we will add you as a project maintainer.

OK, but what if I want to make a big change and would require a branch?

Then you will get this access sooner. You will just have to convince one of the maintainers that your branch makes sense. While working on branches you can be more relaxed regarding commits as you don't have to make sure each time that your modifications do not break something.
