NetBSD in Google's Summer of Code

NetBSD's existing mailing lists should be used as far as possible for technical discussion.
Students are expected to keep documentation about project status, etc. up to date on the projects' web pages.
Students and their mentors will get mail for each CVS commit made to their project.
A mailing list netbsd-soc-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net for all of NetBSD's Summer-of-Code participants (students, mentors, NetBSD-SoC-Administrators) has been created to discuss administrative issues and general problems that are not appropriate for discussion the NetBSD mailing lists.
Students and their mentors are requested to subscribe to this list themselves!
To subscribe, either use SourceForge, or send a mail with "subscribe yourpassword" to netbsd-soc-discuss-request@lists.sourceforge.net to subscribe. Please replace "yourpassword" with your personal, secret list password. There's also a list archive available.
The public mailing list netbsd-soc-cvs@lists.sourceforge.net will reflect the progress of all projects by carrying notices for each CVS commit in all projects. This is intended for interested outsiders.
To subscribe, either use SourceForge, or send a mail with "subscribe yourpassword" to netbsd-soc-cvs-request@lists.sourceforge.net to subscribe. Please replace "yourpassword" with your personal, secret list password. There's also a list archive available.
A private mailing list soc-mentors@NetBSD.org is available for mentors of SoC projects.
To subscribe, send a mail with "subscribe soc-mentors" in body to majordomo@NetBSD.org. The list archive is available in the usual place on the NetBSD mail server.

Getting started (students only):

Students are expected to get a SourceForge account to start working, a basic understanding of CVS is assumed. Each project is stored in its own module in the netbsd-soc CVS repository, with the module's name being the short name from the list of projects above.

To check out your project "myproj" with your SourceForge account "mylogin",

run "export CVS_RSH=ssh" or "setenv CVS_RSH ssh", depending on your shell.
run "cvs -d :ext:mylogin@netbsd-soc.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/netbsd-soc co -P myproj"

If you have any questions, contact the NetBSD-SoC Administration at the address given below or your mentor.

Getting source via anonymous CVS:

Interested parties that want to peek at the sourcecode can do so via anonymous CVS. To check out a specific project "myproj" (see above list of projects), run:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@netbsd-soc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/netbsd-soc login (Password: just press ENTER)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@netbsd-soc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/netbsd-soc co -P myproj

You can also browse the CVS repository via WWW.

A mailing list with mails for each CVS commits of all projects is available, see "Communication" above.

Contact:

If you have general questions about the NetBSD project, its association with Google's Summer of Code project or need technical assistance for your project (accessing the CVS repository, ...), that you can't get answered from your mentor(s) or on the netbsd-soc-discuss list, please contact communication-exec@NetBSD.org!
