New Developer Starting On Sangam

CVS server is used as the source code repository. In this project, we use the CVS service hosted at sourceforge.net. You will need to register with sourceforge.net to get a user ID and password. If you want to participate in the development, please contact Somik Raha (http://sourceforge.net/users/somik/). You will need Eclipse version 3.0M8 or above to compile the projects. To check out the source code from CVS, use the Eclipse CVS repository Exploring view (Window->Show View->Other->CVS->CVS Repositories), right-click anywhere in the view, and select New -> Repository Location from the pop-up menu. Enter this information:

• Host : cvs.sourceforge.net
• Repository Path : /cvsroot/sangam
• User : your username at sourceforge (or anonymous if you only want to view the source code but not participate in the project)
• Password : your password at sourceforge (or empty if you use the anonymous account)
• Connection Type : extssh (or pserver if you use the anonymous account)
• Use Default Port : should be selected
