cvs

Hello,

I am working on a base-theme yui-grids-framework.
First of all: there is such a project on D.o. already, but that one is a) dead, and b) suffering from the same thing I want to solve.

YUI grids is dristributed under BSD. From my tiny bit of legal knowledge, I recall that BSD can be relicenced as GPL.
In that case, I can simply do so, and then upload the results to Drupal.org CVS.

I have gone to meetups asking this question, asked on IRC, and tried stuff on my own, without success. Maybe Drupalchix can help.

In essence, I need to be able to routinely grep all Drupal 5 contributed modules. So, naturally, I wanted to download them all (because I haven't found another way to grep them all).

The following command unfortunately gets me a slew of things with info files containing "core = 6.x"

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib checkout -d DRUPAL-5 contributions

Hey All,

I created a Userstyle for http://cvs.drupal.org with Firefox (and the Stylish plugin), and I wanted to share it with the community. If you're interested, you can download/install it here: http://userstyles.org/styles/9338. Before and after screenshots are also attached.

For those who don't know what "Stlyish" is, it's a Firefox plugin that allows you to change the appearance of any website/page, by overriding the CSS. You can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

Enjoy :)

The giants of the project module and Drupal.org's CVS/packaging system (dww, hunmonk, aclight) plan to add the ability of installation profiles to have their modules packaged with them, I understand. This will be a huge step forward for their value to end users.

One of my developers has put up a blog post explaining how he's using Drupal and Subversion.

For anyone interested.

CVS, or Concurrent Versions System, was the de-facto standard open source version control system for a long time. It came up in the late 80s and grew popular enough to manage the source repositories of virtually all open source projects until only a few years ago (when Subversion started to take over). It's still widely used, including on drupal.org, but hardly deployed on newly created repositories anymore. Development is strictly fixed to a centralized client-server methology, and while distributed version control systems (or Subversion with svk) strive to make a checkout independent from the server, with CVS you're completely dependent on a fast and reliable connection to upstream.

In summary, there's little surprises in this CVS coverage, especially for the resident drupal.org admins. But necessary nevertheless, if only for later reference. Obviously, no new requirements for the API module were found, as the CVS setup on drupal.org together with the Project module is the status quo at the moment.

Abstract
I will create a system to measure the quality of the contributed projects on Drupal.org, so site administrators can rapidly make informed decisions about the health of a contribution. The system will integrate with current infrastructure and use several criteria to assess the quality of each project.

If you are new to CVS and Drupal, and if you prefer to use command line/bash(as me) instead of GUI based CVS programs. Then this guide is for you! For windows users, download greggles great lesson on CVS.
This guide is really quick & dirty. But I like it this way. So I hope you will as well:)

There are basically 5 stages:

1. Download drupal HEAD
2. Edit file
3. Test your patch on your local webserver
4. Create a patch
5. And apply the patch to drupal.org using your webserver
