Hi,
I was given admin access to an R package developed on R-Forge, which I have not
used before. I installed a command line svn client, checked out the package
svn checkout svn://geob...@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/fints/
update, etc works fine, until I try to commit the changes:
svn commit -m "update by Georgi"
svn: E170001: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E170001: Authorization failed
The commit command doesn't ask me for username/password and all my attempts
were in vain. Google search finds similar queries but the answers didn't help.
I can't find any way to make it ask me for credentials and will appreciate any
help.
I believe r-forge uses ssh public keys for authorization. The manual
(http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/R-Forge_Manual.pdf) mentions the
possibility of password authentication, but I think that was dropped
several years ago. You need to upload your key in the Account
Maintenance page: detailed instructions are in the manual.
