Piotr, could you please add the details needed (as per http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests) to this bug?

I'd love to, but I don't have required information. Adding Dimitris to CC.

Folks, what I need in order to create this account are:

o Full name of who the account should be in 
o preferred username
o gpg key
o ssh key
o contact email address

Given that I can help 

Dimitris, could you please find some time to provide this, so we can enable submission to shared-mime-info?

Here is the public key part of the special key created for freedesktop.org:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA6B7VBWTmFtF6wBBs70dUdrLIIN3KOBGFpNCeKLYH/dctCw+bkyMelwp+WUrR0roQvpxe42DYVzG5qwE96uKuwjakYqbY5R+ns1q12Ph/SJ3A3c25JMhNydrF++w6xwZpIPxK8g9JlVVwb/btPplfzORxADcByHW0eZDQIDbJYpfWGQy8eyFvzxQBXrc9mB19O/5cu5oywqagRmXOGoNuwyWQzaefcN0JHqOpM2e1IBgbHksGAvTFuJlyG1+Cx3bN+hpHqstR3Q0gMZdCB5f5YEw3K490s80jQZ7vyYpu0GSEJ8awybFM8V52o3zXZ5gZfAy8gotEPGG3O+2FCmVY0Q== submitter+freedesktop@transifex.net

o Full name of who the account should be in: Transifex.net Translation Robot
o preferred username: transifex
o gpg key: no gpg key
o ssh key: see above
o contact email address: admin@transifex.net

More human details:

o Full name of who the account should be in: Dimitris Glezos
o contact email address: glezos

argh.
Human Contact email address: glezos@indifex.com

Done.

Testing the new SSH key with no luck:

ssh -v cvs.freedesktop.org

Relevant lines:

debug1: Host 'cvs.freedesktop.org' is known and matches the RSA host key.
debug1: Found key in /var/lib/transifex/.ssh/known_hosts:7
debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Offering public key: /var/lib/transifex/.ssh/id_rsa.freedesktop
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive
debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive

Any ideas?

After about 10 hours, on annarchy:

$ id transifex
id: transifex: No such user

Kind ping!

$ cvs -d:ext:cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mime co -d shared-mime-info.default test
Password: 

Adam kindly fixed that, the user was in an inexistant group in LDAP.

Thanks!

$ id transifex
uid=3234(transifex) gid=800(freedesktop) groups=800(freedesktop),521(mime)

OK, it seems to work. However we are getting some warnings:

$ cvs -d:ext:cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mime co -d shared-mime-info.default shared-mime-info
Could not chdir to home directory /home/transifex: No such file or directory
W: Failed to change to directory ‘/home/transifex’: No such file or directory
W: Falling back to directory ‘/’
cvs checkout: Updating shared-mime-info.default
U shared-mime-info.default/.cvsignore
U shared-mime-info.default/COPYING
...

I guess we can ignore them, but is there any chance to silence them?
