To be able to work on your code in the SME Server CVS repository you need an account on SourceForge. With this account the development team can give you access to the CVS repository.

Email them. − Binary files are stored in a look-aside cache on shads box. CVS isn't great on binary files. − − Mezzanine, (mzsfget, mzclean, mzprep, mzpatch, mzbuild, mzput) have all be replaced with a new method. − Change to work directory+ − + − − To prepare a tree − cvs update -dPA [optional] − make clean [optional] − make prep − − Then switch to the tree and make modification. − − In the prepared dir copy a file you want to modify like so: − − cp 28UserManagerProxyPass 28UserManagerProxyPass.{patchname} − − Then modify the original file 28UserManagerProxyPass. − To add new files touch the file.{patchname} so it is empty. (really empty = 0kb, some file manager don't!) − − Once you have all the files you want patched copied and changed then you can build the patch (from the contribs7 dir) with: − make patch SUFFIX={patchname} − It will build and add the patch for you. It should be named "name-version-{patchname}.patch" − (man gendiff. That is what the makefile uses to generate the diff file.) − − Edit the spec − nano -w smeserver-foo.spec − − Build the rpm locally to test, (note, this deletes the working tree!) − − − Once you are satisfied and want to submit the package to the build server commit your changes. (Please use descriptive comments so that other developers are aware of what is happening. Comments will appear on the subject line of the commit email that get send to the other developers.) − cvs commit -m 'msg' − − Then tag all files as belonging to a particular build version − − Then submit the request to the build server which will checkout the recently tagged version and build it in a chroot (mock) env. − Key things are to always do "make tag" before "make build" + − − Always ensure you are working with the latest version (cvs update -dPA) − − You and updatesteam will get an email on successfull build. − Only you will get an email on failed build. − − CVS cheat sheet [[:Package_Modification/More cvs commands]] − − ===Workflow=== − Once the server successfully builds it will automatically be pulled on the next repo update run − (40 past the even hours MDT). The package will either be put into the smedev (new package) or smetest (exist in higher repo) After verification the package is manually moved from smedev/smetest to smecontribs/smeupdates-testing − − ===Mailing Lists=== − Subscribe yourself to the [http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo/devinfo devinfo mailinglist]. This is the place to discuss the development of the server and contribs. If you have other questions, not regarding development please use the [http://forums.contribs.org forums]. − − Other lists exist to monitor bugs and the build system, UpdatesTeam + ...

===Move contribs from SME(n-1) to SME(n) ===
Here is an example for SME7 to SME8:
'''Do a clean checkout of smeserver-mycontrib (This is very important, must be a completely clean tree)'''
rm -rf ~/smecontribs/rpms/smeserver-mycontrib
cd ~/smecontribs/rpms
cvs co smeserver-mycontrib
cd smeserver-mycontrib
Then you can copy (DO NOT MODIFY ANYTHING before committing!!!):
cp -a contribs7 contribs8
rm -rf contribs8/CVS
cvs add contribs8
find contribs8 -mindepth 1 -name CVS -prune -o -print | xargs cvs add
cvs commit -m 'Initial import'
Finally you can make your first build
cd contribs8
cd smecontribs/rpms/smeserver-foo/contribs7
make local
make local
make tag
make tag
make build
make build
