Hi all, We have created a brand new Mercurial server that holds the "golden" source tree for oss-4.1. This is always the latest version to be used by developers who would like to make contributions to OSS. This repository contains a version with "All rights reserved" copyrights. This is intentional. We don't want this version to be used in production systems or to be redistributed. We will keep releasing the "official" source drops (under GPL, CDDL and BSD licenses) as before. These are the versions that should be used for "production". In addition the version contained in the repository is the 4.1-testing version which is potentionally buggy.
To use the repository server you need to install Mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/). In some systems it's already installed or there is a precompiled package available. Others can compile it from the sources. Before accessing the server you must make sure that all logins in all systems you may use have .hgrc in their home directory. This file must contain the following lines: [ui] username = Your Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Othersise the commits you make will contain invalid user name and we will almost certainly refuse to accept them. Also make sure you have signed and returned the Contributor Agreement from our web site (http://developer.opensound.com) and read the instructions for contributors. To fetch the initial version you need to cd to the directory where you want the local copy be located. Then fetch the sources. For example: cd /usr/src hg clone http://mercurial.opensound.com oss The above will create /usr/src/oss that contains the latest sources. Later you can upgrade to the latest version by executing: cd /usr/src/oss hg pull hg update (if changes were available). Consult the documentation of Mercurial for more info. The procedure how we will take the contributions is still open. Ideas for this are welcome.
