Onboarding new Contributors

Administrative

  1. Ensure the user has signed/is covered by the CLA
  2. Ensure the user is listed in the "Unicode ICU-TC Committers🔒" document (private) with their name, email, and account id

Trac Access

  1. On the server, create the password entry for username (will prompt for the new password)

    # cd /home/icutrac/conf
    # cp trac.htpasswd _trac.htpasswd
    # htpasswd trac.htpasswd username

    New Password: <type the new password here>

  2. Restart the server

    3. # apachectl graceful

  3. (important)  log into trac as the user in order to create the account:  Visit http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/login from another browser 
  4. verify that you are logged in as the new user
  5. Now, grant the user permissions in trac itself:
    1. http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/admin/general/perm ( must be logged in as yourself )
    2. In the box ‘Add Subject to Group’:   Subject: username  Group: developer
    3. Click Add

SSH Access

  1. Obtain the developer's SSH public key. See Subversion Setup for ICU Developers - it should begin with "ssh-rsa …" or "ssh-dsa …"
  2. On the server, # adduser username -c 'User Name' -g src -G htdocs ; mkdir ~username/.ssh
  3. Copy the user’s key to ~username/.ssh/authorized_keys
  4. Fix permissions:    chown -R username.src ~username/ && chmod -R u=rw,go= ~username/ && chmod u+rx ~username/ ~username/.ssh
  5. The user should be able to login via the key but not via password.
