[arch-dev-public] devtools and specifying a username
Hey guys, especially the new ones, I noticed this commit tonight on devtools: Specify upload server in variable Allan McRae [Fri, 9 Jan 2009 14:11:59 +0000 (00:11 +1000)] This means people with different usernames on their local machine only need to change a single line. http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=devtools.git;a=commitdiff;h=1b178621a5fc1ec... While well intentioned, it is completely wrong and means you have to update your script every time a devtools update comes! Use .ssh/config and set things up right by adding something like the following: Host svn.archlinux.org User dan Host archlinux.org User dan -Dan

Good tip. I figured there had to be a better way around this but the patch also meant that any other group that wanted to use the devtools scripts would only need to make that one change too so I committed it. Allan
