Can anyone help please?
I want to help the translation community of Fedora, but I cannot use the CVS in command line, I have tried username mcisback@l10n.redhat.com with no success, I am sponsored and approved for cvsl10n, and approved for cla_done, cla_fedora, and unapproved for cvsdocs, but it says I do not need a sponsor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry to waste time if it's a stupid answer, or I've missed something signing up.
Regards

Hi Roy,
have you tried to access CVS as anonymous user? Check this page, you don't need anything special but a cvs application:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/CvsUsage
Also, I think the information on these pages is incomplete, because you also have to export CVS_RSH environment variable. If CVS fails with:
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot exec rsh: No such file or directory
then you will have to export CVS_RSH variable also. For instance, do the following on the command line:
CVSROOT=:ext:mcisback@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT CVS_RSH
Also, you should request membership to cvsdocs group, since docs-common module contains some mandatory files to be created, and you will need membership on cvsdocs group in order to create them (you don't need cvsdocs membership if they exist for your language). See also http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/en/sn_translatin....
Hope this helps!

Hi Roy, welcome to Fedora Translation.
I've added som good resources at the end of this mail.
If you want to translate the software, your CVSROOT should be: :ext:mcisback@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS If you want to translate the documentation, your CVSROOT should be :ext:mcisback@cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/docs
In both cases you should do export CVS_RSH=ssh aswell
Hope this helps,
Bart
