Hi! This is a message for users with commit access to the SVN for Taverna and myGrid-labs.
Google has introduced some changes for Google Apps accounts so that they are now also 'proper' Google account. That means that [email protected] ( as accessed on http://mail.mygrid.org.uk/ ) can use the same login for https://www.google.com/accounts/ and any other Google product like Youtube and PicasaWeb - and most notably for us - Google Code projects like http://code.google.com/p/taverna/ Now the little challenge here is that as we started with this practice years ago this linking was not yet the case - so any myGrid developer also had to create a duplicate Google account with the same @mygrid.org.uk email address - which was then added as a Google Code member. Now that the account changes has taken place, if you have an @mygrid.org.uk account (which all committers should) - then you should have received an email from Google. If you didn't have the transitional Google Account as mentioned above, everything is fine and should just work. However, any of the existing committers would unfortunately find that their logins don't work properly, as the accounts are in conflict. For instance: [email protected] would have had commit access to http://code.google.com/p/taverna/ but would now find that his account has been renamed to: stian%[email protected], I recommend all of you with conflicting accounts to go to https://www.google.com/accounts/ - and add a new email address to be used instead of this gtempaccount trick. As far as I understand, the first time you log in using [email protected] you will be logging into the 'old' account and asked to do precisely this - if this does not work, try logging in using the @gtempaccount.com user account as above, for instance if you used to be [email protected] - try fred%[email protected] as username. I recommend changing the primary address of the old account to simply add +old or +svn, like: [email protected] This old account we'll keep around as a 'Contributor' so that your old commit history stays in SVN - but due to the + sign this account will not work very well for new commits. >From now on the old account would just be dormant. Now log out and in again on https://www.google.com/accounts/ as [email protected] - the password would be the same as http://mail.mygrid.org.uk/ which would now be Single-sign-on together with Google Code. You should now at https://code.google.com/hosting/settings be able to see your generated SVN password to be used with username [email protected]. Your SVN clients should kindly ask you about this new password - if they get difficult try to delete the old account. You should not need to check out code again as the checked out .svn files don't contain user info. If you have any troubles, such as not remembering the password for the 'real' @mygrid.org.uk account or not having access to the Google Code project with the new account - contact me personally. I do apologize for the inconvenience caused - but this is a global change that Google are rolling out - and in the long run it's a good thing. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
