Hey, Joey's not the demigod around here ;-P Basically, any Debian developer in the webwml group can add someone to the passwd file. But you do that without asking and you die. (Am I repeating myself? :)) We also like people to add to the CVS version of the passwd file when modifying the copy on klecker, so that there's a log. Mart, here's an example for how to do it: % dpkg -S =mkpasswd whois: /usr/bin/mkpasswd % mkpasswd Password: [foo] 8Tzpu678MSx3I % mkpasswd foo I3d4DUzwjhorA ... Send such a password to e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (encrypted or not, it doesn't really matter) and you'll have CVS access. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.
