#7753 Permission to change package owner (to reassign packages from nonrepsonsive packager procedure)
Closed: Fixed by kevin. Opened by churchyard.

Reopen Issue
  • Describe the issue

Recently, i deal with a lot of nonrepsonsive packagers and people ask to be assigned to those. I open releng tickets. It's a bit tedious. I cannot imagine how tedious this is for releng.

Can I please be granted permission to reassign packages to different users? This might be the cvsadmin group. I'm already a provenpackager and I would only use this once the nonrepsonsive packager process is approved by FESCo.

  • When do you need this? The sooner the better.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? This is always useful.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? A lot of releng tickets from me.

Thank you.

+1 from me. I guess we should get @mohanboddu 's blessing too...

@mohanboddu Suggested on IRC that he would prefer automation over me :D

Well, sure... I think we all want to be replaced by automation for this task, but in the mean time...

Note that now I also handle the "orphaned packages need new maintainers" thing and I would gladly just assign the packages as people request them via reply to the e-mail, but I cannot.

Note that this could save releng's work.

+1 to grant these privileges to @churchyard

@mohanboddu ?

I still offer my help. Can I please have the permissions?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal was approved.

I'd also like to ask permissions to orphan packages to speed up procedures described there and not to bother releng members.

Orphaning is a special case of changing owner. Membership of cvsadmin FAS group is needed to change project owners in dist-git.

Is there any chance I can get into that group? I requested this 7 months ago and there were 2 +1s and no direct problem with that.

If we can get a ack from @mohanboddu I'd be happy to add you.

@mohanboddu can we please get that ack? I'm good if you say no, but this has been sitting here for 8 months.

If we can get a ack from @mohanboddu I'd be happy to add you.

ack.

@churchyard
I know you are helping us in retiring/orphaning processes, could you please document what you are doing(scripts you are using and what they do) (the docs are located in pagure.io/releng repo itself) and also, when you orphan/unorphan, can you create a ticket of what you did for tracking purposes.

Thanks.

I'll only orphan / assign packages based on my own tickets, thanks.

I'm currently only running https://pagure.io/releng/blob/master/f/scripts/find_unblocked_orphans.py every Monday.

In regards to Python 2 packages, I open bugs based on info from https://fedora.portingdb.xyz/

What shall I do now?

I give up.

Looks like mohan gave an ack and I didn't come back around and see that and add you. I'm sorry.

I'll go do so now...
