+
+
+1 Obtaining lwIP from the CVS repository
+----------------------------------------
+
+To perform an anonymous CVS checkout of the main trunk (this is where
+bug fixes and incremental enhancements occur), do this:
+
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/lwip checkout lwip
+
+Or, obtain a stable branch (updated with bug fixes only) as follows:
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/lwip checkout \
+ -r STABLE-0_7 -d lwip-0.7 lwip
+
+Or, obtain a specific (fixed) release as follows:
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/lwip checkout \
+ -r STABLE-0_7_0 -d lwip-0.7.0 lwip
+
+3 Committers/developers CVS access using SSH
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The Savannah server uses SSH (Secure Shell) protocol 2 authentication and encryption.
+As such, CVS commits to the server occur through a SSH tunnel for project members.
+To create a SSH2 key pair in UNIX-like environments, do this:
+
+ssh-keygen -t dsa
+
+Under Windows, a recommended SSH client is "PuTTY", freely available with good
+documentation and a graphic user interface. Use its key generator.
+
+Now paste the id_dsa.pub contents into your Savannah account public key list. Wait
+a while so that Savannah can update its configuration (This can take minutes).
+
+Try to login using SSH:
+
+ssh -v your_login@cvs.sv.gnu.org
+
+If it tells you:
+
+Authenticating with public key "your_key_name"...
+Server refused to allocate pty
+
+then you could login; Savannah refuses to give you a shell - which is OK, as we
+are allowed to use SSH for CVS only. Now, you should be able to do this:
+
+export CVS_RSH=ssh
+cvs -z3 -d:ext:your_login@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/lwip co lwip
+
+after which you can edit your local files with bug fixes or new features and
+commit them. Make sure you know what you are doing when using CVS to make
+changes on the repository. If in doubt, ask on the lwip-members mailing list.
+
+(If SSH asks about authenticity of the host, you can check the key
+ fingerprint against http://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=lwip)
+
+
+3 Merging from DEVEL branch to main trunk (stable)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Merging is a delicate process in CVS and requires the
+following disciplined steps in order to prevent conflicts
+in the future. Conflicts can be hard to solve!
+
+Merging from branch A to branch B requires that the A branch
+has a tag indicating the previous merger. This tag is called
+'merged_from_A_to_B'. After merging, the tag is moved in the
+A branch to remember this merger for future merge actions.
+
+IMPORTANT: AFTER COMMITTING A SUCCESFUL MERGE IN THE
+REPOSITORY, THE TAG MUST BE SET ON THE SOURCE BRANCH OF THE
+MERGE ACTION (REPLACING EXISTING TAGS WITH THE SAME NAME).
+
+Merge all changes in DEVEL since our last merge to main:
+
+In the working copy of the main trunk:
+cvs update -P -jmerged_from_DEVEL_to_main -jDEVEL
+
+(This will apply the changes between 'merged_from_DEVEL_to_main'
+and 'DEVEL' to your work set of files)
+
+We can now commit the merge result.
+cvs commit -R -m "Merged from DEVEL to main."
+
+If this worked out OK, we now move the tag in the DEVEL branch
+to this merge point, so we can use this point for future merges:
+
+cvs rtag -F -r DEVEL merged_from_DEVEL_to_main lwip
+
+4 How to release lwIP
+---------------------
+
+First, checkout a clean copy of the branch to be released. Tag this set with
+tag name "STABLE-0_6_3". (I use release number 0.6.3 throughout this example).
+
+Login CVS using pserver authentication, then export a clean copy of the
+tagged tree. Export is similar to a checkout, except that the CVS metadata
+is not created locally.
+
+export CVS_RSH=ssh
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/lwip checkout \
+ -r STABLE-0_6_3 -d lwip-0.6.3 lwip
+
+Archive this directory using tar, gzip'd, bzip2'd and zip'd.
+
+tar czvf lwip-0.6.3.tar.gz lwip-0.6.3
+tar cjvf lwip-0.6.3.tar.bz2 lwip-0.6.3
+zip -r lwip-0.6.3.zip lwip-0.6.3
+
+Now, sign the archives with a detached GPG binary signature as follows:
+
+gpg -b lwip-0.6.3.tar.gz
+gpg -b lwip-0.6.3.tar.bz2
+gpg -b lwip-0.6.3.zip
+
+Upload these files using anonymous FTP:
+ncftp ftp://savannah.gnu.org/incoming/savannah/lwip
+
+ncftp>mput *0.6.3.*
+
+Additionally, you may post a news item on Savannah, like this:
+
+A new 0.6.3 release is now available here:
+http://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=lwip&highlight=0.6.3
+
+You will have to submit this via the user News interface, then approve
+this via the Administrator News interface.
