Problem with l10n repositories: "could not lock repository"

[Guillermo López <willyaranda>]

Hi!

I'm having problems while pushing to the Mozilla L10n repositories:

l10n-central/es-ES/
weave-l10n/es-ES/

when I try to push some of my commits, I'm getting this nice error:

localhost:es-ES willyaranda$ hg push
pushing to ssh://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/es-ES/
searching for changes
remote: abort: could not lock repository /repo/hg/mozilla/l10n-central/
es-ES/: Permission denied
abort: unexpected response: empty string
localhost:es-ES willyaranda$

Axel (or anyone), any idea?

No, no idea. If it's not working again, please file a bug on
mozilla.org, server operations, blocker severity, and CC me?

Are you using the same user you cloned the repo with? If yes, try changing
the permissions of the .hg folder and its contents ( chmod -R 777 .hg ), and
be sure there is no application that is locking some of the repo files and
preventing Mercurial from writing in them.

Regards

Anas

Guillermo filed a bug, and had a permissions problem which IT fixed.
