[R-pkg-devel] can't commit changes to a package on R-Forge
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.

Thanks, I didn't realise that password approach has been dropped.
