Currently the DCS/Blu-Ice software is maintained and managed using CVS. The web offers excellent CVS Documentation to help a developer get started. Specifics about how the Blu-Ice/DCS software uses CVS is described more thoroughly in the following sub-sections.
To access the CVS repository you will need a username and password provided by SSRL. CVS does not provide secure encryption, so the CVS account will not be related to an actual SSRL computer account.
If you do not have a CVS account send a request to scottm@slac.stanford.edu with a brief statement of interest and the synchrotron and beam line(s) of which you are affiliated.
