Things you should do when you become a committer
As described at ProjectRoles, we have 3 levels of involvement in the project, as in many ASF projects. This page describes stuff you'd want to do when you become elected a committer – in other words, when you're given write access to the SpamAssassin codebase. As described at ProjectRoles, the SpamAssassin project has 3 levels of involvement – the same as many Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects.

When your account is created, an ASF infrastructure volunteer will send you a password for the Apache login server (currently minotaur.apache.org which has the aliases of cvs.apache.org and svn.apache.org). This allows you to log in using SSH to set your SVN password, as described \[http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html#https-svn here\]. Here's a quick summary of what to do: |
...
And enter your desired SVN password twice to set it. If you have difficulties logging in with SSH for the first time, make sure you use a keyboard interactive password method.
Writable SVN checkout
When you become a committer, you should check out the svn repository using the HTTPS url instead of the HTTP one, so that you have read/write access to the repo. To check out from scratch, assuming that you're using the standard svn commandline client:
...
Changes to the SVN tree can now be checked in directly using svn commit -m 'a comment about the commit'.
The first time a file is checked in using svn commit, you will be prompted for your username and password. This will then be cached for all further commits.

Rulesrc Sandbox
In order to use the NightlyMassCheck to test new rules, create a rulesrc sandbox cd /trunk/rulesrc/sandbox/; mkdir <apache username>. Please use your Apache login as the name for your sandbox.
Rules placed in this directory will then be tested with the nightly mass check once commited to the SVN repository. NOTE: the rulesrc is external to the repository so you must commit changes here seperately, i.e. cd /trunk/rulesrc/sandbox/; svn commit -m 'spammers beware! new rules are on the prowl'
You can review the results of the Nightly Mass Check at http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/
Misc
You should subscribe to the security list by sending a subscription request to security-subscribe at spamassassin.apache.org.
