The Place Lab CVS repository is hosted on sourceforge. If you would like to have read-write access to this repository, please perform the following steps:

1. If you don't already have one, create a sourceforge account.

2. Send e-mail to placelab-admin@lists.sourceforge.net requesting that you be added as a developer. Include your sourceforge username in that e-mail.

3. Once you have received confirmation from the Place Lab admin team, you should have access to the CVS repository. Use these commands (assuming a UNIX sh shell) to access the repository:

   export CVS_RSH=ssh
   export CVSROOT=:ext:your_sourceforge_username@placelab.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/placelab
   cvs -z3 checkout placelab
   

   In case it isn't obvious, replace your_sourceforge_username in the command above with the sourceforge username that you included in your e-mail to the Place Lab admin team. In the cvs command, the -z3 flag is optional. It enables compression and makes the network communication faster.

4. If you would like to receive notifications whenever a developer commits changes to the CVS repository, join the placelab-commits@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.

5. If you would like to enable public-key-based ssh access to the sourceforge CVS repository, visit this page and upload your ssh public key using the form on that page.
