Create SVN account for :

This user will need subversion privs set for :
"projects/mozilla.com/trunk/{locale}".

For anonymous browsing and checkout, use http://svn.mozilla.org

The svn url for locale related checkins/checkouts will be
svn+ssh://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/{locale}/

Your e-mail address will be your svn login as well.  You can pass this
user name directly on the svn url in the command line, but some svn
clients get confused with commands like this.  In the example below
substitute '[e-mail]' with your e-mail address.

svn co svn+ssh://[e-mail]@svn.mozilla.org/blah

They interpret 'host.tld' to be the svn repository host name and
svn.mozilla.org to be the revision.  In unix environments, to get
around this (client confusion), put this in your ~/.ssh/config

Host svn.mozilla.org
User [e-mail]

Then, you can simply use "svn co svn+ssh://svn.mozilla.org/blah"

Please refer to copious google search results to get this working on
non-unix platforms.

Could you change the email/username to [e-mail] to be consistent with the CVS user name and the SSH key entry?

Comment 3

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Done, your svn username is now [e-mail]

Thanks a lot.

This stoped working for me. The ssh connection and auth are fine:

> Using username "[e-mail]".
> Authenticating with public key "pavel-dsa-key-20030903" from agent
> Thank you for using the mozilla subversion server

However I have no privs for "projects/mozilla.com/trunk/cs".

Moreover, I would like to have access to "addons/trunk/site/app/locale/cs" since I'm also the Czech localizer of AMO. There is the same error message when I try to commit there.

Create directory? You shouldn't need to create any directory. What are you doing exactly?

Trying to commit changes in cs/firefox/community/index.html

Comment 8

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

should work now.  Please re-open if necessary.  Had to add you to the right group.  I am surprised this has been working all this time.

Commiting either into AMO/cs or MOZEU/cs resulted in:

Error: Commit failed (details follow):  
Error: MKACTIVITY of '/!svn/act/3aea83bd-3f88-ab46-9d75-1f75261267a6': 500 Internal Server Error (http://svn.mozilla.org)

You can't commit using http:// -- only https:// and svn+ssh:// will work.

Ahh. That was the trick. Thanks a lot.
