411679 - CVS Account Request - Ehsan Akhgari <[e-mail]>

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: Repository Account Requests, task)

Description

[(no longer active)]

I would like to apply for a CVS account.  The work I've done so far has been mostly focused on front-end Firefox issues, some small amount of hacking for the Persian localization, as well as some contributions to Sumo (recently).

The list of bugs I've fixed: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&resolution=FIXED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=ehsan.akhgari%40gmail.com> (currently ~50, not counting the recent Sumo articles I've worked on)

The list of bugs I've worked on and are pending for review: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=exact&email1=ehsan.akhgari%40gmail.com&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=regexp&value0-0-0=.*review\%3F> (24 currently)

I've experienced the review process and other requirements (such as getting an approval) on committing patches to the codebase.  It would be great that I can check-in my patches after getting the necessary reviews/approvals.

I'll provide the necessary info (SSH public key and the signed form) and ask for the vouchers and the sr shortly.

Attachment: My CVS SSH Public Key (OpenSSH format)

New key in OpenSSH compatible format.  This should be used instead of the previous key.

Due to a recent overhaul of the committer's agreement, we are requiring new forms be sent for accounts that have yet to be created, even if you have already filled out and submitted the old CVS Contributor Form. Please download the form at http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/committer/committers-agreement.pdf and submit it according to the directions specified at http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/notification/. We apologize for this necessary inconvenience. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks!

I read somewhere that those who are taking part in the Summit are preferred to sign their forms at the Summit (don't remember where!).  Is this the case, or should I mail the new form before then?

Comment 7

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Ehsan, that's for people with existing accounts who need to update their agreement.  For new accounts, we need the new form.

Comment 8

[(no longer active)]

OK, I've printed and signed the form.  I'll drop it off at the post office as soon as possible.

Comment 9

[(no longer active)]

I dropped the signed form today at the post office.  They said it should take about a couple of weeks for it to be delivered.  Marcia: will you update this bug when you receive the new form?

Thanks!

Comment 10

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I have received the new Committer's form.

Comment 11

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

I'll vouch.

Comment 12

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

I'll vouch.

David, can you sr this please?

Comment 14

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

David: If you are willing to SR, we can move this along? Thanks.

Comment 15

[David :Bienvenu]

I'll vouch as sr, sorry for the delay.

Comment 16

It would really be great if I can get access; since I'm really in need of being able to push to the try server in order to test my work...

Thanks!

Despot account created. Over to IT for CVS and Hg account creation.

Comment 18

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Is this just for a cvs account or both cvs and a l10n account?

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

(In reply to comment #18)

Both CVS (/cvsroot, mozsrc) and Hg (hg_mozilla, hg_mozsrc). No l10n account...

Comment 20

[(no longer active)]

I already have l10n access from bug 417682 for fa.

Any progress here? :-)

Ping?

Comment 23

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Ehsan is setup in despot, I just checked. So the remaining work that has to be is for server-ops to add the SSH key for the CVS account and create the HG if necessary. This bug is assigned to aravind so he will need to act on it or move it back into the server-ops queue.

Comment 24

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Done.  Your account should now have mercurial and cvs access.  Sorry, this took a while.

Comment 25

[(no longer active)]

Thanks!  Does this also include an LDAP account (which for example I can use on the try server), or do I need to file another bug for that?

Hg access is done via LDAP, so yes. You should have received the details from whoever set your account up - aravind/reed?

The only email I got was from Reed explaining the Despot login details...  The LDAP user name is my email address I suppose, but I don't have any corresponding password.

I just reset it. You should receive an e-mail with your temporary password.

I did receive the email, but the password in that email didn't seem to be valid (I couldn't get past the HTTP auth prompt using [e-mail] as the username...)

Comment 31

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Sorry, sent your another reset.  Let me know if that doesn't work either.

Comment 32

[(no longer active)]

I managed to log in, but after I changed my password, I can't login any more.

Comment 33

[(no longer active)]

OK, that was a confusion on my part.  The second password reset indeed worked.

Comment 34

[(no longer active)]

I've successfully pushed to hg, committed to CVS, and used my LDAP account on Verbatim and MozillaTry.

-> VERIFIED.

Thanks everyone!
