[Phpwebsite-developers] CVS Standards

[Matthew M. <ma...@tu...>]

Good day,

As phpWebSite continues to grow and we add more developers, it is importa=
nt
to remind people of how CVS currently operates.

First, if you commit something, it should work. If it doesn=92t work, the=
n
someone might fix it. When you commit you are releasing it to the world. =
If
you have a problem with someone repairing your code, don=92t commit. If y=
ou
want to commit and still do not want people to touch your code, then make
sure it has absolutely no bugs. I understand bugs can get by you, but I a=
m
weary of the possessiveness people have of their code. If you disagree wi=
th
this, then you shouldn=92t be in Open Source.

Second, if you are changing someone else=92s code, you should not change =
the
functionality of the code without consulting the developer. Bug fixes are
open season.

Third, before you commit, update. Roll back is a bitch.

If you have any problems or questions about these standards or anything o=
r
anyone else, contact Brian (br...@tu...) or myself directly.
