Jimmy,

The Eclipse process explicitly states
that only committers have write access to the source code repositories.
 Can you be more specific about the problems contributors are having?

Subject	[cosmos-dev] CVS access for some non-committers (i.e. for active        contributors)

Team,
 
An out of the box thought pertaining to the
COSMOS (or perhaps the Eclipse) Development Process…
 
Currently, non-committers are not allowed
ANY access to the core COSMOS secure artifacts (i.e. the portal / CVS…).
 Even though there are “workarounds” to the CVS restriction, it
has not been easy for non-committers (specifically contributors) to work
with the COSMOS codebase.
 
What if active contributors, PRIOR to becoming
committers, be allowed CVS access?  Obviously, Eclipse portal access
can come later…  Or would this be a gross violation of the COSMOS
/ Eclipse…
 
I state this due to the recurring issues
we have had BOTH with Development and QA Staff not being able to work with
CVS.
 
Thanks,
Jimmy Mohsin
