hmm, I should have been a member of that group for a while. Anyway, my
alioth id is jinty-guest.

I have read access to the repository via ssh, but when I try and commit,
I get the following:

svn: Can't open file '/svn/pkg-zope/db/write-lock': Permission denied
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/home/jinty/src/python-mechanize/trunk/svn-commit.tmp'

I'll give it a try when things calm down at work.

Subversion I'm quite used to, it's the what to do and what not to do
when group managing packages via svn-buildpackage that's a bit
confusing.
