Excerpts from Aaron Griffin's message of Mon Aug 10 12:02:25 -0400 2009:

Hello TUs, The last little part of the "official tool" transition is getting you all accounts of the dev dashboard at https://dev.archlinux.org/devel/

In order to do this, I need to go through and add accounts for you all.

So I would like you to send me an email (private) containing: Real Name Alias Email address jabber/IRC nicks Website URLs Occupation Year of Birth Geographic Location Languages Known General Interests Favorite Distros A picture if you have one (See http://www.archlinux.org/developers/)

With this info, I will begin the slow process of adding accounts. After I add each one, I will send you an email with your password which you will need to change.

...

From here, you will be able to adopt packages from the web interface (you will need to use dev.archlinux.org to do this), and get out of date notifications

Additionally, we have setup a private notification list for orphans which are out of date, as well as the integrity check and cleanup emails. This is not fully complete, but I will point you to this list when I send the password. The reason it is a private list is that "out of date" notifications contain private email addresses, and we don't want them indexed.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Now we just need to get viewvc working :roll:

You're probably aware of this, but Firefox complains about an invalid security certificate on that site. Just fyi. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

It's not invalid, it's self-signed, so there's no certificate authority stamp-of-approval on it. We had a free year certificate at one point, but decided not to waste the money for a real certificate if it's only used by the devs.

Alright, fair enough. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com)

One option would be getting one from CACert.org. Of course it won't be worth a lot without putting their root cert in openssl/firefox/konquerer/epiphany/etc...

Its allready in our certs bundle and konqueror uses it. If you know a way to make Firefox use that, too, please tell. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

We looked into that, but that's not much better than a self signed cert. We discussed this at length among the devs, and already made a decision. We're well aware of all the options :)

What was the line of reasoning behind "not much better than a self signed cert"? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Working on these accounts now, but I think Dusty discovered the automated emails are going to send a non-working password :S I've done about 5 or 6 so far, so if you password doesn't work, just poke me and I'll set it to something nice. Will continue when this is fixed up
