<para>Becoming a member of the MacPorts project with commit access
|
|
to our Subversion repository is pretty much a matter of involvement in any of
|
|
the areas of the project and the record you can establish thereof. We
|
|
encourage any developer and/or volunteer to apply for a Subversion account
|
|
if certain simple requirements are met:</para>

Involvement on the List:

<listitem>
|
|
<para>One key attribute of any MacPorts committer must be
|
|
enthusiasm for the project, so therefore we appreciate applicants
|
|
who've shown their involvement through active participation
|
|
on the <ulink
|
|
url="http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users">main user list</ulink>,
|
|
either through general user support and/or project roadmap discussion
|
|
and brainstorming.</para>

|
|
<para>If applying for access to the "mports" section of the project,
|
|
an established record as a maintainer of already existing ports is
|
|
preferable. This can be accomplished either through the inheritance
|
|
of abandoned ports (those with the sole nomaintainer [at] macports DOT org
|
|
maintainer address) or through writing your own from scratch. If instead
|
|
you plan to apply to any other area of the project, like "base" or "www", contributions
|
|
in the form of patches that can vouch for your skills on the aspects you
|
|
plan to help with are certainly a big plus. In all cases, submissions to
|
|
the project should be processed per the instructions detailed on the
|
|
"<ulink url="/docs/ch15.html">MacPorts Submissions</ulink>" chapter.</para>

</variablelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you feel like you meet and comply with these requirements and wish
|
|
to become a member of the group to help out personally, do feel free to send
|
|
a note to the <ulink href="/docs/ch12s03.html">PortMgr</ulink>
|
|
steering committee explaining your contributions, how long you've been involved
|
|
with the project and why think you'd make a good committer. The sole purpose of
|
|
said forum is overseeing the general evolution of MacPorts, so it is where you
|
|
should turn to for membership requests.</para>

|
|
<para>For a brief listing of the duties & benefits resulting from holding
|
|
an OpenDarwin account, along with a short jump start on Subversion primaries, read
|
|
OpenDarwin's <ulink url="http://opendarwin.org/en/articles/committer_guide/ar01s02.html">Committer's Guide</ulink>
|
|
for account applicants. The MacPorts' specific <ulink url="http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/wiki/NewCommittersGuide">New Committer's Guide</ulink>
|
|
is also a must read for new comers to become acquainted with our own procedures
|
|
and guidelines.</para>
