[Adobe-source-devel] opensource.adobe.com Perforce server now online

[Foster T. B. <fbr...@ad...>]

ASL Developers,

Perforce (<http://www.perforce.com>) is the source code management  
solution used within Adobe. We have been working for a while now to  
get a Perforce server running for the Adobe Source Libraries, and we  
are pleased to say it is now fully functional. The Adobe Software  
Technology Lab has migrated their development process to use the  
opensource.adobe.com Perforce servers for development, which means  
you will see changes we make to the sources the instant we check them  
in.

For those of you who have never used Perforce before, you can  
download a client for free at the Perforce URL above. Once you have a  
client on your development machine you can obtain a snapshot of the  
release or submission depots (repositories in CVS parlance) with the  
p4checkout script written to grant anonymous access to the ASL sources:
	Win32: <http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/adobe-source/ 
p4checkout.bat>
	*nix/Mac OS X: <http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/adobe- 
source/p4checkout.sh>

For contributing developers, the process requires about 20 minutes of  
set up time (don't use the script above), but will allow you to  
contribute code directly to Perforce. I have attached an in-progress  
HTML file describing more about the new Perforce setup.

If you have any questions, please direct them to me.

Blessings,
Foster
