Procedure to request GRASS-SVN write access

The ​GRASS Project Steering Commitee is responsible for granting SVN write access to contributors (as defined in ​RFC1).

• The requestor has to read and abide by the document ​Legal aspects of code contributions (RFC2).
• The request has to be send to the GRASS-PSC mailing list, stating that RFC2 was read and accepted. This requires ​subscription to the mailing list.

Setting up the new SVN write access

Once SVN access is granted, the requestor needs to obtain an "osgeo_id" at ​http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid If s/he already have an "osgeo_id" but forgot it, it can be searched at ​http://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_web_search.py The GRASS-PSC chair (currently Markus Neteler) and other developers can add this "osgeo_id" to the OSGeo LDAP authentication system.

Contributions have to follow the BestPractise rules (see also SUBMITTING* files in the source code).

Then what?

Happy hacking :) The requestor should subscribe to the ​grass-commit mailing list which distributes GRASS-SVN commit differences for real-time code review.
