Request to add Falk Hueffner (falk) to gcc group

Hello,

I would like to be added to the gcc group for write-after-approval CVS
access. I already have a bugzilla account at sources.redhat.com with
account name "falk", but no ssh key. I've attached one. The copyright
assignment is already in place.

This request was approved by Zack Weinberg <zack@codesourcery.com>.

Let me add that the reason for not using the web interface is
*not* believing that there already is a real user account named
"falk", but with problems with the web interface.  Falk
suggested on IRC that the cgi should replace newlines by space
by itself before checking, which seems a good idea, since many
browsers line-wrap plain text input fields.

Well, hundreds of people have managed the strenous feat of getting their
ssh key into the web page.  I'm not inclined to be manually adding
anyone anytime soon.  The whole point of an automated system is to
minimize the amount of fallible human work required to add an account.

The script is in the cgi-bin cvs directory.  Anyone who is bothered
by its current behavior should feel free to offer a patch.

Perhaps the error was misdiagnosed.  Those "\s+":es in
ps_form.cgi should have matched any combination of spaces and
newline.  A test indicates that it does.  I don't know what went
wrong, perhaps leading or trailing whitespace.

Hmm. The script doesn't deal with those?  That's pretty bogus.

Sorry, I tried with two different browsers (galeon and konqueror), and
each time I got a syntax error message from the cgi. I thought it was
because of text wrapping, but aparrently, it wasn't. I don't know what
the problem was, since I don't have the script.

I believe that they wrap them visually, but I've never seen one
actually insert newlines.  (Pity, that would be useful.)

Presumably the visual syntax errors were a show-stopper.
Anyway, don't look at me, I just tried to play a mediating
friendly messenger in a situation I saw was about to be
misinterpreted.  Oh well, I'll let Falk speak for himself.
I'm glad I could be of help. :-}
