Private mails can work better for me. I don't track GAU very closely and
my responses to the list are generally carefully thought out (read: time
investment) so as to minimize disruptions.

Its been Canonical's baby since August of '04. I'm still the one
responsible for it though. For "can I speak to your supervisor?" and
"jblack got bitten by a ferral dog, is dead, and now nobody can help me"
type questions, the person to speak to is Robert Collins (lifeless).

The supermirror will cowardly refuse to publically mirror an archive that
doesn't match the name that was ssh'ed in. The information I have available
to me tells me that you pushed it to:
                  .                                             .
address@hidden@mirrors.sourcecontrol.net/address@hidden/
Instead of:       |                                             |
address@hidden@mirrors.sourcecontrol.net/address@hidden/
                  ^                                             ^

You can verify this by running and probably seeing something similiar to:
-------------
sftp address@hidden@mirrors.sourcecontrol.net
ls -a
.
..
address@hidden/
address@hidden/
-------------
sftp address@hidden@mirrors.sourcecontrol.net
ls
.
..
-------------

The resolution is to wipe the old mirror, and make a new one with
"address@hidden" username.

James
