738595 - Re-enable <mozilla.BenB---bucksch.org>

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

First, SVN via https with username+password didn't work, even though it worked a month ago. Then I tried via svn+ssh.

But I still get an error. I get:
"Your subversion account has been disabled due to inactivity."
This is not true. As you can see in 
svn log https://svn.mozilla.org/mozillamessaging.com/sites/autoconfig.mozillamessaging.com/trunk/
I have commited a bit over a month ago.

Please do not ever disable my account due to inactivity, be it SVN or hg. I contribute irregularly, but I do contribute. Disabled accounts are disruptive.

xref: Original creation of my commit access was 12 years ago. Creation of SVN was in bug 474476.

Re-enabled account.

Comment 2

Not fixed:
SVN works, but hg fails:
"Your mercurial account has been disabled due to inactivity."

This is highly annoying. Please make sure that I never see this again on any system, unless I don't contribute at all for 3 years.

This is fixed now. Thanks, ashish.

It isn't trivial for us to fulfill this request. Accounts get disabled automatically via automated processes (and svn and hg are completely separate, which is why you had to go through this twice). It'll be up to the despots, if an "exceptions" rule should exist for this, and whether we need to spend the time re-writing the scripts that handle the disabling of inactive accounts and what the policy would be for adding someone to the exceptions. I've CC'd those people and one of them can file a bug for this feature if it is desired.

Yes, this is what I object to, in general. But it doesn't belong here, so I filed bug 743648 about this.

Please reactivate my account (SVN+hg). I need it now.
