Please review CAL Subversion Repository information before proceeding.

The first step is to checkout the part/directory of the trunk 
that will be modified. You don't need to check out the entire trunk, if you
just want to work on one subdirectory.  For example, to start work on cal-meta on a new machine, do:

mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
svn co https://docs.astro.columbia.edu/svn/cal-svn/trunk/packages/cal-meta

this lets me avoid all the other packages and information that i don't
really need.

 * Note: you must be added to the list of svn committers on the
repository. The list of people with rw access to the repository 
(which is controlled via uranus:/srv/archive/cal/etc/public-svn-authzfile).  

• Edit the CAL dependency list at:

  ~/src/cal-meta/src/debian/control
  add the package to the 'Package: cal-configured-workstation' section.
  

• Verify the changes to the file:

  cdelacruz@phobos:~/src/cal-meta/src/debian$ svn status
  M      control
  
  
  cdelacruz@phobos:~/src/cal-meta/src/debian$ svn diff

After adding the package to the CW dependency list, it will become part of the standard CW install when the new revision is pushed out. It usually takes a couple of days. To verify the changes, check the following location:
