fedpkg should return better error message than "access denied" when checking out a non-existing pkg
{{{ [dan@eagle tmp]$ fedpkg co foo Cloning into foo... R access for foo DENIED to sharkcz fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Could not clone: Command '['git', 'clone', 'ssh://sharkcz@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/foo']' returned non-zero exit status 128 }}}
This is actually a gitolite issue and a newer release fixes it. We hope to move to the newer release soon.
There was also an idea mentioned on #fedora-devel - fedpkg could try to find the source package name if "foo" is name of a binary package
Pretty sure this is fixed now with the gitolite update:
R access for asdfads DENIED to tibbs (Or there may be no repository at the given path. Did you spell it correctly?)
Don't think I can close this ticket, though.
Yeah, this works now. Closing.
