This is a very lengthy process with a lot of customization to how the CVS server is setup. If things were in git or hg, it would be as simple as a clone call. As they work, they can continue to do pull calls to keep in sync with the upstream without overwriting their own changes. Even better, when they've done some changes and have a working package set, they can ask the upstream maintainer to just do a pull from their clones. Since the history is all kept changesets know where they came from and merging in changes is every very easy, the upstream would do a pull/merge from the downstream clones. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
