Everybody who can commit to cvs on freefall also has p4 access. The set of people who can help is exactly the same. In fact, we even have a couple of non-comitters with access. As I posted before, the instructions are in http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/p4cookbook.txt, and the 'p4newuser' command on freefall is what is run to activate it. If we want a majordomo p4-all@freebsd.org mailing list (or something like that, as an analog to cvs-all@freebsd.org), I can have that set up as well. > P4 is ok but it's strangling me because people have to get teh source to > work on it and it's just a bit too hard to do so. And when they have it > they can't just use CVS to generate diffs to send back etc. Yes, they can. cvsup10 carries a change-by-change copy of your work. They can do exactly what you said above.. ie: anybody can cvsup, and use cvs to send diffs to you etc. As I previously mailed, a sample supfile might look like this: *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/tmp/cvs # change this *default prefix=/tmp/cvs # change this *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress p4-cvs-kse peter@thunder[11:58pm]/tmp/cvs/projects/kse/sys/sys-126> rlog proc.h,v | more RCS file: proc.h,v Working file: proc.h head: 1.86 ... ---------------------------- revision 1.86 date: 2002/02/18 06:05:49; author: peter; state: Exp; lines: +58 -55 >>>Replicated Change 6659 by julian@julian_ref on 2002/02/17 22:05:13<<< MFC ---------------------------- revision 1.85 date: 2002/02/18 00:36:29; author: peter; state: Exp; lines: +10 -14 >>>Replicated Change 6647 by julian@julian_jules1 on 2002/02/17 16:34:47<<< Setting return values into the frame has to be Machine dependent code. ---------------------------- .... ---------------------------- revision 1.81 date: 2002/01/30 02:31:27; author: peter; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 >>>Replicated Change 5993 by julian@julian_ref on 2002/01/29 18:29:58<<< Cleanup some of the suspend and single-threading code.
