This file really doesn't belong here, but I wanted to elicit comment
|
|
|
|
|
|
without starting a discussion as to where it really does belong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anyway, here goes...

When the new CVS tree was set up back in May, I wanted to ensure that
|
|
|
|
|
|
everybody at least gave some thought to asking other people to look at
|
|
|
|
|
|
code before it is committed. Since we have had a number of rancorous
|
|
|
|
|
|
discussions in the past about both committing code prematurely, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
committing code that was written by someone else, I decided to use the
|
|
|
|
|
|
`template' function of CVS to give people a chance to think about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The template looks like this:

If you are making substantial or possibly controversial changes to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
code, please talk to someone else who either has commit authority, or
|
|
|
|
|
|
who is recognized as an expert in the BSD community. This latter
|
|
|
|
|
|
category includes the author of the program or subsystem you're
|
|
|
|
|
|
modifying, like Rick Macklem for the NFS code, or Keith Bostic for
|
|
|
|
|
|
`vi'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the changes are insubstantial and noncontroversial (e.g., fixing
|
|
|
|
|
|
spelling errors, or most Makefile changes) there is no need for
|
|
|
|
|
|
review. Please delete the ``Reviewed by:'' line, though, so that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
logs look cleaner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are committing code or modifications which were originally done
|
|
|
|
|
|
by some other person or group, them please please please make sure to
|
|
|
|
|
|
credit them in the ``Submitted by'' line. In this case, you are
|
|
|
|
|
|
considered to be the reviewer. If it is your own code, or that of
|
|
|
|
|
|
another team member, then you should delete the ``Submitted by'' line,
|
|
|
|
|
|
so that the logs look cleaner.

Importing new stuff is somewhat error-prone since it's easy to create
|
|
|
|
|
|
unwanted directories or even whole subtrees without noticing it. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
script ``easy-import'' has been created to make first-time imports
|
|
|
|
|
|
easier to handle (vendor-branch imports are not yet supported), and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
help people avoiding the most common errors. It is available as
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin/easy-import on freefall, or in the source tree as
|
|
|
|
|
|
src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib/easy-import.pl.
