Hi,

And it is done. Attila, you now have write permissions. When Joerg requests a cl.net account, I'll get him added, too.
I welcome Attila with write permissions. Indeed, the web site is bit rot and would benefit from benevolents. AFAIK, I don't "need" an account, because I cannot use it. I have no SSH permissions to the outside world. Last time I talked with Erik Enge (at most a month ago), there was no solution (yet) to this problem.
However, I can use HTTP (to port 80 only, and maybe a few others) and HTTPS to the standard SSL port (443). Thus if there's a way to update a repository via these means, I'm in favour of using that.
o darcs has afaik means to automatically integrate signed patches via e-mail. If Erik can set this up, it could be used. I've no experience with that, though.
o maybe Arch has means to work only with HTTP and HTTPS, but so far, I found no indication that I can use Arch given my FW restrictions. Maybe I'm mistaken?
o I have developer access to sourceforge. But that works only because they have a host (cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net) which maps the SSH port to the HTTPS one, so CVS gets through, as the FW believes it's doing HTTPS. Sourceforge is the only one I know which does that port mapping.
