<i>&gt; Being able to change the whole source does not mean it is permitted.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; I expect everyone with write access to the source understands this</i><br>
<i>&gt; difference, and accept that only the backend maintainer make changes</i><br>
<i>&gt; to his backend.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Normally there is one person who works on a backend.  It is not a</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; good idea if anyone has write-access to the backends.  If someone</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; else wants to change anything on a backend, he should mail his patch</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; to the author of the backend.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Exactly.  You don't need to block write access using CVS to make this</i><br>
<i>&gt; happend.  There only has to be agreement between the people with write</i><br>
<i>&gt; access.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; [Kevin Charter]</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Is there a way to give maintainers restricted write access,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; say to just the part of the package they are responsible for?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; [Oliver Rauch]</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; If we use CVS, that is the only way that makes sense!</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Why use technical means when all that is needed is general consencus?</i><br>
<p>
Ok, that would be possible - although I understood the original message that<br>
EVERYONE<br>
should get write access. But I think CVS should be able to set permissions for<br>
each file<br>
and that would be the best solution!<br>
<p>
