Also, could I possibly do it by adding the transifex user via https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/groupbox.cgi?_editme=Edit&name=svnsystem-config-rootpassword ? Is it possible to limit that user's write access just to the files whose name matches certain pattern (see the bugzilla mentioned above)?

You can do this yourself by adding the transifex user to your group "transif" is the username. This will allow initial access to transifex. Glezos, what else is needed?

I added the transif user.

Hm, access doesn't seem to be working, or I'm doing something wrong.

{{{
svn co svn+ssh://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/system-config-rootpassword
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password).
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
}}}

Interestingly I'm seeing a successful access from transif -

Dec 16 08:27:39 hosted1 sshd[23519]: Accepted publickey for transif from 209.132.176.52 port 57874 ssh2

glezos, did you try your co from you or as transif?

Should be OK now. Just tested successfully.

glezos: Are you sure the file name pattern match is set correctly? I also see Makefile and .pot in the list, though the regexps in the bugzilla obviously don't match them.

lkundrak: OK, just corrected it.
