Getting a cvs account

To gain access to the KDE CVS respository (discussed below), you firstly need to have a good reason for wanting access. For example, you may be maintaining a CVS module. If you think you have a good reason, send a polite email request to system administrators at <sysadmin@kde.org> along with an encrpyted password (see next paragraph).

To create your encrpyted password, type:

perl -e print\ crypt\('passwd','sa'\)\.\"\\n\"

where passwd is your choice of password and sa is two random characters from the set (a-zA-Z0-9./). The output is your encrypted password.
