So I looked for a way to do this easily, but couldn't find it -- and asking someone to click on 300ish packages several times so I can then go click on 300 packages several times sounds... Painful.
If there's an easy way I can do this ("easy" including an API I can poke at), please reject and let me know the details. Or if there's another trac instance more suitable.
Otherwise... Please add mmaslano, psabata and ppisar to all my perl-* packages for F-13+, with full ACL rights.
Thanks!
Assigning to Toshio - I think he's handled this type of request in the past.
toshio could you please look at it? We'd like to work on these ~300 packages. Thank you.
toshio, while you're at it, please add me to Chris' packages too (fas iarnell). I doubt that Chris or Marcela will mind. It's pretty much just a formality as I've been kinda maintaining a bunch of his packages anyway for the last 6 months.
iarnell++. I only didn't ask for you to be added right off the bate because I hadn't run it by you first and didn't want to assume/impose :)
Toshio could you please reassing those packages to us or is there someone else who could solve this request?
We could do this pretty easily ourselves using [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/packagedb-cli].
No more clicking, yay!
Were you guys successful in adding those acls using pkgdb-cli?
Chris asked me for script, now we are waiting when he'll have time to add us.
Replying to [comment:7 toshio]:
Err, no. Unless I'm missing something obvious, just requesting acls is painfully slow (one package and one acl at a time) and somewhat inconsistent. Despite doing "pkgdb-cli request <pkg> all all", only f16 branch seems to give watchbugzilla and watchcommits; many branches seem to request only approveacls. And pkgdb-cli doesn't seem to offer a way to distinguish between pkgs owned by cweyl and pkgs he merely co-maintains, so I've been requesting acls on pkgs I don't care so much about because someone else is actively maintaining them.
If there's a quick and simple way you can handle this properly, I think it would be much better. I got as far as requesting /some/ acls on /some/ branches of perl-{A,B}* before giving up.
SQL scripts that are needed to make this type of change a
Done. Finally had a solid day to work on the scripts that are necessary to make this happen. Unfortunately, they are very complex. I need to find the other ticket asking for mass comaintainership before I forget how these scripts operate.
Are cweyl's packages all going to be orphaned still (ticket:3046)?
Chris packages were marked as mine, but I ask for orphaning, so everyone can pick.
