Developing DasBlog

DasBlog sources, bug database, and message board can be found on the DasBlogCe SourceForge Project http://sourceforge.net/projects/dasblogce/ The GoDotNet Workspace is deprecated as we have moved to SourceForge.

If you wish to contribute to the project, consider Applying to the SourceForge Project.

Read the Source Control Rules and Coding Standards before you think about applying to be a developer.

Getting set up on SourceForge

1. Developers will only be considered if you have source code and changes to contribute. You can get the source code from CVS by using anonymous access with a CVS client (see instructions in the next section). Email your changes to shahineo@hotmail.com.

2. Download PuTTy

3. Download TortoiseCVS

4. Create a local folder for your sources like D:\dasBlog\

5. Follow the instructions here for configuring TortoiseCVS and optionally PuTTy for using a private/public key to authenticate (rather than entering your password all the time).

a. Once you have a key youy can get pageant.exe to load it by using the following command line: "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\pageant.exe keyname.ppk"

6. The info to connect to the CVS server is:

a. CVSROOT: :ext:[username]@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dasblogce

b. MODULE: source

7. Once you get set up you can CVC Checkout and get all the sources. ALWAYS do a CVS Update before checking in.

Retrieve the code via anonymous access and TortoiseCVS

1. Download PuTTy

2. Download TortoiseCVS

3. Create a local folder for your sources like D:\dasBlog\

4. Right-click on the new folder (D:\dasBlog) and choose "CVS Checkout..."

5. For CVSROOT, put :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/dasblogce (This should automatically set the protocol to Password server :pserver:, the Server to cvs.sourceforge.net, the Repository folder to /cvsroot/dasblogce, and the username to anonymous. If not, set those values.)

6. For Module, put source (note: the Fetch list... button does not seem to work for anonymous access)

7. Click OK. A subfolder will be created (D:\dasBlog\source) containing all of the files.

8. If you make changes to code retrieved via anonymous access, email them to shahineo@hotmail.com
