CVS

The participants of SoC 2006 can find some information about how CVS will be used to manage the source code of their projects here.

A non-developer (anonymous) user can also checkout each branch, e.g.:

 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.blender.org:/cvsroot/soc-2006 login
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.blender.org:/cvsroot/soc-2006 checkout \
    -r name_of_branch soc-blender
 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.blender.org:/cvsroot/soc-2006 logout

The 'name_of_branch' above is either nicholasbishop, artificer, or sionix, and the '\' at the end of a line indicates that this is one long line without a break.

Developer service

.c and .h templates

When developers need to add new file, then they need some template. Looking at existing source files could be confusing, because each file contains different copyrights in the header. When you edit some file, don't forget to add your name to list of contributors, write a description of the source file, write the name of .h file containing function prototypes somewhere at the beginning of .c file, write commentary, and write documentation in wiki.
