(2008-10-15) ACL 大解放

大家应该都已得到通知，我们的 CVS 现在有了两级访问控制。我们最后要做的是大面积地开放 ACL。

凡是目前标记为 private，只有其维护者可以提交更新的软件包，都将被开放给高级 packager。尽管高级 packager 只是所有有 CVS 提交权限的人的一小部分，但是任何人都可以成为高级 packager。

如果你不希望自己的软件包被开放给高级 packager，必须登录 packagedb，取消“Open package during mass ACL open?”选项。请不要这样做。如果你有任何想法，请在这里讲出来：开放地交流，对社区而言再好不过。

原文见 The Big ACL Opening

So, as most of you have probably heard, we are now on a two-tiered access system for CVS. The final change which we will be making is the mass ACL open.

What will happen is all packages which are now set to be private, accessible by their maintainers and a few specific individuals only, will be opened up to all überpackager members. Members of überpackager represent a filtered minority of CVS comitters, but membership is easy to come by for anyone that asks.

Now the important part: IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS CHANGE MADE TO YOUR PACKAGE you must opt out by logging into pkgdb, going to your package’s page, and unchecking the “Open package during mass ACL open?” checkbox.

Please don’t do this.

If you’re anxious about the idea, please discuss it here, as it really is better for the community for us to behave more openly.

The opening is in 2 weeks. We’ll poke again in the intervening time.
