Getting write access to the gcc repository

Getting write access to the gcc repository

[Kelvin Nilsen]

Hi,

I'm working with IBM on gcc support for PowerPC.  I already have an 
account: kelvin@gcc.gnu.org.

I believe this account already is aware of my public key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub.

What I seem to be missing at the moment is authorization to write to the 
svn repository.  Will you please help set this up for me?

(I'm not sure if you are the right person to issue this request to. The 
page: https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi tells me that if I 
already have an account, I should not fill out the form, but should 
instead send an "email to the overseers email account at this site".  I 
could find no further description of "overseers" on the web site.)

If you need someone to authenticate that this is an appropriate request, 
feel free to check with David Edelsohn: dje.gcc@gmail.com

Thank you for your help.

You are already a member of the "gcc" group.

So should that give me write access?  I'm getting error messages when I 
try to create a branch.  I was assuming this was because I did not have 
write authorization.  Do you have access to any log files that would 
help explain why this operation is failing?

Thanks.

  kelvin@genoa:~/gcc$ svn copy svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk 
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/ibm/kelvin-1
svn: E170001: Authorization failed
svn: E170001: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: E170001:    'svn-commit.5.tmp'
kelvin@genoa:~/gcc$

Because you are using svn instead of svn+ssh to do the copy.
