Once you have an account (Bob will handle that end of things), the
general procedure for developing with CVS is ...

1) fetch the source using "cvs checkout",
   [this is normally needed only once]

2) update the source using "cvs update -d",
   [you get our changes merged at this point]

3) make changes to source and the ChangeLog file,

4) review your changes with "cvs diff -c",

5) commit your changes with "cvs commit",
   [we get to see your changes at this point, both in the vanilla-devel
   mailing list and later when we do a "cvs update"]

6) sleep, eat, whatever, until next time,

7) repeat steps 2 through 6 ad nauseum.


See the PROJECTS file for more details on the use of emacs to maintain
the ChangeLog.

By default, a "cvs commit" will commit all files that have changed, but
you can tell it to just commit one file, e.g.

% cvs commit robots/end_tourney.pl
