<h3>Subversion Read/Write Access</h3>
<h3>Developer Access</h3>

If you want to be able to commit things to Subversion, first contribute some
stuff to show you are serious.  Then, very nicely ask <a
href="mailto:buildroot@uclibc.org">The Buildroot Developers</a> to set you up
with commit access to the Subversion repository.  To access Subversion, you
will want to add the following to set up your environment:
Because we use Git for version control, you don't need developer (ssh)
access on uclibc.org to contribute to Buildroot, but you can request
it if needed.

<p>

To obtain commit access, you will need to demonstrate you are serious by
submitting a few good patches first.  Then, you will need to select a username
to use when committing changes to SVN, you will need to send me the username
you have selected, you must send me your preferred contact email address, and
finally, you must send me an ssh version 2 DSA key with 1024 bits (the default)
or more.  If you do not currently have an ssh version 2 DSA key, you can
generate a key using the command<pre>ssh-keygen -t dsa</pre>  This will
create the files <pre>/home/&lt;USERNAME&gt;/ssh/id_dsa
/home/&lt;USERNAME&gt;/.ssh/id_dsa.pub</pre>  
It is recommended that you generate a key with a "passphrase" for security reasons.

Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to
checkout a copy of buildroot from Subversion:
Once you have an account, you can use it to store Git
repositories. Simply put them in subdirectories of your ~/git, and
touch ~/git/<repo>/git-daemon-export-ok, after which the hourly
cronjob will pick them up and show them in cgit. They are also
available though git-daemon:

<pre>
svn list svn+ssh://username@svn.uclibc.org/svn/trunk/buildroot</pre>
<br>
It goes without saying you must change <em>username</em> to your own
username...
<p>

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

<pre>
svn diff
svn status
svn revert
svn commit</pre>

<h3>Anonymous Subversion Access</h3>
<h3>Git Access</h3>

We allow anonymous (read-only) Subversion (svn) access to everyone.  To
grab a copy of the latest version of buildroot using anonymous svn access:
The buildroot repository can be browsed online through cgit at
<a href="http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot">http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot</a>.
To grab a copy of the repository use

<pre>
svn co svn://uclibc.org/trunk/buildroot</pre>
git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot</pre>

Or if you're behind a firewall blocking git:

<pre>
git clone http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot</pre>
