#5919 Please migrate "docker" namespace in distgit and pagure to "container"
Closed: Fixed Opened by maxamillion.

Currently the namespace for Fedora Containers is listed as "docker" because at the time of it's creation that made the most sense. However, as time has gone on there's multiple container runtimes that Fedora Atomic WG would like to target and as such we would like to move away from the "docker" namespace in order to remove possible confusion. I would also like to request that the "docker" namespace redirect to the "container" namespace for backwards compatibility.

If there is anything here that I can either take on the work required for or assist in doing, please let me know.


This will require updating the namespace in pkgdb's database as well as renaming the folder on disk.

I can do that but I doubt we will want to do it while in freeze.

And we will likely need to coordinate with #5920

Agreed with Adam to do this after freeze is lifted, since it would require FBR's.

Now that we are beyond freeze, is there anything that is needed from me or is this just in a TODO queue? Totally fine if so, I'm not trying to nag; just curious on where to go from here. Thank you.

Done in stg: https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/%2A/?branches=&status=&owner=&namespace=container :)

Thanks! :D

  • pkgdb2 adjusted: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/*/?branches=&status=&owner=&namespace=container
  • dist-git adjusted as well

@maxamillion is doing some more testing but so far it's working fine. So let's close :)
