Subversion Read/Write Access

Subversion commit access requires an account on Morris.  The server
+behind busybox.net and uclibc.org.  If you want to be able to commit things to
+Subversion, first contribute some stuff to show you are serious, can handle
+some responsibility, and that your patches don't generally need a lot of
+cleanup.  Then, very nicely ask one of us (Rob
+Landley for BusyBox, or Erik
+Andersen for uClibc) for an account.

+
+
If you're approved for an account, you'll need to send an email from your
+preferred contact email address with the username you'd like to use when
+committing changes to SVN, and attach a public ssh key to access your account
+with.

+
+
If you don't currently have an ssh version 2 DSA key at least 1024 bits
+long (the default), you can generate a key using the
+command ssh-keygen -t dsa and hitting enter at the prompts.  This
+will create the files ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
+You must then send the content of 'id_dsa.pub' to me so I can set up your
+account.  (The content of 'id_dsa' should of course be kept secret, anyone
+who has that can access any account that's installed your public key in
+its .ssh/authorized_keys file.)

+
+
Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with us
+private, you can encrypt your email using
+Rob's public key or
+Erik's public
+key.

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

+
+
svn checkout svn+ssh://username@busybox.net/svn/trunk/busybox

+
or

+
svn checkout svn+ssh://username@uclibc.org/svn/trunk/uclibc

+
+
You must change username to your own username, or omit
+it if it's the same as your local username.

+
+
You can then enter the newly checked out project directory, make changes,
+check your changes, diff your changes, revert your changes, and and commit your
+changes using commands such as:

+
+
 svn diff
 svn status
 svn revert
-svn commit

+EDITOR=vi svn commit
+svn log -v -r PREV:HEAD
+svn help
+

For additional detail on how to use Subversion, please visit the the Subversion website. You might also want to read online or buy a copy of the Subversion Book... +href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">the Subversion Book...

+

A morris account also gives you a personal web page +(http://busybox.net/~username comes from ~/public_html on morris), and of +course a shell prompt you can ssh into (as a regular user, root access is +reserved for Erik and Rob). But keep in mind an account on Morris is a +priviledge, not a requirement. Most contributors to busybox and uClibc +haven't got one, and accounts are handed out to make the project maintainers' +lives easier, not because "you deserve it".
