#3942 Request to create design-sw account
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by luya.

= phenomenon =
With the increasing use of Design Suite, Design Team needs a group that can track design-related applications not available in Fedora repository and package them.

= background analysis =
Design Software is a new created group intended to maintain design-related software.
comps.xml containing the group list of Design packages needs frequent updates with the increasing amount of packaged applications related to design.
The link is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Design_Software

= implementation recommendation =
- Create FAS account named '''design-sw''' which will include a group of packagers.
- Set a mailing list for tracking bugs, updates, and git
- When needed, design-sw can own unmaintained or orphaned packages so other maintainers can update.


I'm unsure if what you are asking for is wholly possible. let me last out some of the things I think you want that we can provide an then you can correct me if there's any problems.

  • create a mailing list to receive bug and commit mail. for this we'll need to know the name you want.

  • create a pseudo user in fas named design-sw who's email address is the list.

  • for some packages for the design suite, add this user to the packages so bug email and commit mail go to it. (you'll need to setup the list to accept the emails and a bugzilla account for the mailing list)

  • the ownership of packages will continue as usual as there is currently no group ownership option.

If wholly impossible at the moment, I can accept what the infrastructure currently provides.

  • create a mailing list to receive bug and commit mail. for this we'll need to know the name you want.
    The name of mailing list will be ''design-devel''.

  • create a pseudo user in fas named design-sw who's email address is the list.
    Correct.

  • for some packages for the design suite, add this user to the packages so bug email and commit mail go to it. (you'll need to setup the list to accept the emails and a bugzilla account for the mailing list)
    Correct.

  • the ownership of packages will continue as usual as there is currently no group ownership option.
    I was unaware about the lack of group ownership option. The current option will be fine.

I hope my replies clarify the request.

Thanks luya, I think this will be everything I need. I've been busy but feel free to ping me on Monday if I haven't gotten to this before then (right now, I think it's 50:50 that I will).

Hi Toshio,

Any update for the setup?

Mailing list design-devel@lists.fp.o added with luya as the current admin (feel free to add other admins as you desire), fas pseudo user for design-sw added, packages gpick and gimp-paint-studio have the pseudo user. Other packages can have the pseudo user addes by making a scm admin request to add design-sw to the cclist.
