| Subject: Subversion commit access for XXXXX |
| |
| J. Random, |
| |
| I discussed it with the rest of the Subversion Committers, and we'd |
| like to offer you limited commit access to the Subversion repository |
| for your work on XXXXX. All of us think that having it in the tree |
| would give it a wider audience, which is always a good thing, both for |
| finding bugs and for finding new developers to help out. |
| |
| Assuming you accept, you'll be able to create a XXXXX directory in the |
| contrib/ subdirectory of the Subversion tree, and maintain XXXXX there |
| from now on. Your commit access to the repository would be limited to |
| that subdirectory, so for any changes outside of that area you would |
| have to have the patches reviewed by someone with full commit access. |
| This limitation isn't actually enforced by any technical means (we've |
| always been too lazy to set up hook scripts or mod_authz_svn). It's |
| enforced only by social convention, so please be careful not to |
| inadvertantly commit any changes outside the XXXXX subdirectory. |
| |
| Note that we decided to put XXXXX in contrib/ simply because at the |
| moment you would be its only active maintainer -- whereas placing it |
| in the tools/ subdirectory would imply some level of official support, |
| and we prefer to have multiple active maintainers before doing that. |
| In the future, if more people get involved with XXXXX, we can look at |
| moving it into tools/. |
| |
| If you do not already have partial commit access, you can accept this |
| offer by replying to this mail and following the instructions at |
| <http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html#cla>. You will |
| receive an email with details on how to access your account. Once you |
| have access to your account, you are encouraged to modify the COMMITTERS |
| file appropriately (under the 'XXXXXXXXXXX' section, describing your commit |
| area as '(XXXXXXX)'), which also serves as a test of your new username and |
| password. Then create contrib/XXXXX/ and start committing! |
| |
| Thanks, |
| -Your Name Here |
