It's possible to use other email addresses than the OOo one, but in this case please add your OOo account in square braces. Set this entry to identify yourself as author, common usage is to use your name and the OOo email address here. The author tag of a changeset is set on commit, and becomes part of the history. Let's examine this configuration file entry for entry: # Enabling this hook is strongly suggested for OOo development. # Reject commits which would introduce windows-style CR/LF. # Enables the bundled win32text extension. # Required if 'cws fetch' is used to fetch a CWS. # Domain developers only: OOo ssh authentication for pushing # The user name will appear as author tag on commits. The most interesting one is the user specific configuration file in $HOME/.hgrc. Mercurial can be configured via system, user and repository configure files. Please see Submitting Your Certificate (Public Key). We will continue to use IssueZilla for managing and tracking key additions and changes. If you are a new domain developer please create a new issue, attach your public key to it and and add it as a dependency to issue 94002. Ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa_ooo_svnДЄll existing public keys for SVN usage have been migrated for Mercurial use as well. If you want a dedicated identity for just OOo SVN usage, generate a specially named key pair

Note that SSH keys created between September 2006 and May 2008 on Debian or Debian derived systems like Ubuntu may be insecure. Per default the public key is named $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub. You'll be asked for pass phrase which protects your private key. On Unix or Windows/cygwin a SSH identity (private/public key pair) is generated with: Mercurial is a distributed SCM, there are other ways to contribute your changes without having write access to this server. If you are not a domain developer or do not plan to publish your changes via this way to the OOo community just skip this section. If your cygwin hg complains about: '*** fatal error - could not load shell32, Win32 error 487' use TortoiseHg instead.Дomain developers can publish their changes on hg. Some cygwin versions exhibit a bug which affects hg and other tools.
