904670 - Create CVS account for [e-mail]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

We currently have a cron job running on landfill which mirrors selected branches from our bzr repository into CVS.  This is a legacy process which will be dying off within the next year as the remaining branches reach end-of-life, however those cron jobs are currently running in a user account that belongs to someone who is no longer with the project.

I'd like to create a role account for this cron job to use to commit to CVS which will (besides getting it off a specific user's account) make the source of the commit obvious (that it's mirrored from bzr rather than a commit actually by this individual).

For purposes of contributor agreement, by this posting on this bug I am hereby taking responsibility for anything committed with this account; that is: commits by it would fall under the contributor agreement of the original committer in bzr, but anything committed by it not corresponding to a bzr commit (which should never actually happen) would fall under my contributor agreement.

The obligatory output of the account creation script:

Your CVS account has been created.  Your CVSROOT should be:

   [e-mail]:/cvsroot

Don't forget to set your CVS_RSH environment variable to 'ssh'.

If you have any problems connecting, let me know.
