I have never got any answer from you. I have also sent 2 emails to group@php.net I have never got any answer from you. I need such a CVS account because I am the lead developer of the PEAR package PHP_UML, and I need to publish a Docbook documentation about it, so I must have a CVS account. I guess that the PEAR group will then give me the write privilege on the relevant folder. Could you please create my account? If you cannot, or don't want, please tell me why!

No answer means your email has been buried under tons of emails in internals@ (which is often overloaded because of yet another endless thread), it doesn't mean "no" or "we ignore you". If you didn't get any reply, try asking one of PEAR maintainers, they can ping certain people in IRC or by other means and those in turn will approve your account. > Could you please create my account? Sure. Just wait for people with enough karma to read your email. It'll happen soon. If it doesn't - send a reminder to the list. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- ## #38169 — Rasmus Lerdorf — 2008-06-11T20:15:04+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/38165#38169 · In reply to: #38167 Actually, checking through my group@ archive, I don't see 2 messages from you.

I silently forwarded the mail to pear-group@ and his account was approved few minutes later. I have a patch adding a combobox to pick which group the request should be sent to (pear/php, and maybe add gtk/pecl/doc/... in the future?), so the pear guys don't have to subscribe to this list or manually search for outstanding requests, which I'll commit in few minutes... -Hannes --- ## #38173 — Gregory Beaver — 2008-06-11T23:14:46+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/38165#38173 · In reply to: #38171 Hannes Magnusson wrote: > > > […] > > Sorry, my fault.

Hi, Sorry about this, I dropped the ball here. As a note, I have been approving PEAR account requests, and simply monitored internals@ for emails. This worked great until the past couple of weeks when I had crappy internet while on the road, so I missed a few (3 to be exact). This is not the responsibility of people outside PEAR like Rasmus, and the solution is actually a technical one (being able to filter unapproved accounts by project at master.php.net, i.e. PEAR requests only are shown), along with the patch Hannes has already committed. This way, when I am away, it is also possible for people outside PEAR to easily filter the requests, and I can also do that when I come back quite easily. No worries folks - the average turnaround for account approval has been under 24 hours for over a year now, down from an average of 1 month, so this 1 week aberration is a 1-time occurrence. In addition, when PEAR2 gets rolling (and it already is starting) we use a separate subversion repo with its own auth system, which will help as the volume of cvs account requests should decline.

I don't have access to change the table scheme, other than that this should be very simple patch. I'll see what I can do later today, or when I get back home from Iceland (Monday).. -Hannes
