#7195 Please add "cockpit" user to packagers group
Closed: Invalid Opened by martinpitt.

  • Describe what you need us to do:

The cockpit user is driven by
Cockpituous to automatically release the Cockpit Fedora package into koji and bodhi. For that it is a maintainer with commit access.

I would like to use this bot to release the sister project cockpit-ostree. I currently cannot do this on the Settings page:

This user must be in one of the following groups to be allowed to be added to this project: packager

So I suppose it isn't because this got set up for cockpit itself before the Pagure era. Can you please add it to that group, as it factually has been a maintainer for several years already?

  • When do you need this? No hard limit, but doing releases manually costs some human time.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful? Not limited.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

Releases of cockpit-ostree need to be done by a human (me) and are more error prone. The automatic releases are tried and tested, and we've done literally hundreds of them.


I would say this should be filed at https://pagure.io/packager-sponsors/

Thanks @mizdebsk : I looked though a lot of guides and pagure docs, and this evaded me. Filed as https://pagure.io/packager-sponsors/issue/360 .
