Problem sending request for RW access to GCC CVS

Problem sending request for RW access to GCC CVS

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 641 bytes --]

Hello,

I would like to ask for write-after-approval access to the GCC repository.
I tried to use the form at the following URL:

    http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi

The problem is that the form as displayed in my mailer does not allow me
to paste my DSA public key correctly. The key is a long list of
characters, and the form corrupted it by automatically introducing
LFs in place of spaces.

Can you help me?

First & Last Name: Joel Brobecker

Email address:     brobecker@gnat.com
Project:           GCC
Sponsor:           kenner@gnat.com

Thank you,

This form has been in use for years and many people have used it
successfully.  I don't know why you'd be having problems.  Have you
tried another browser?

Not easily.  The form generation makes it all automatic.  Typing this
in by hand will take longer.

I typed this in by hand, although I did have to increase the size of
the form which accepts this data.  I couldn't get it to work either.
Weird.

And after all that work, I found that Joel Brobecker already has an
account on sources.redhat.com/gcc.gnu.org.  Probably should have known
that.

Is this YA case of someone not realizing that gcc.gnu.org and
sources.redhat.com are one and the same?  You could have saved both
of us some work by just saying that you had an existing account and
needed access to gcc.

Anyway, I've added you to the gcc group.

I am really sorry, I didn't realize this was the case.

Thank you.

Here's a patch to save even more work.  The email address is a
tweaking item and I couldn't bring myself to make it a mailto
link.

Thanks.  I've applied this with some tweaking.  I couldn't bring myself
to make it a mailto and in fact tweaked it a bit to make it even less
like a mail address.

Something like this should have gone into this form years ago.  I'm
embarrassed that I wasn't more proactive in doing this myself.
