#8559 Request for mailing list etc. for DeepinDE SIG
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by cverna. Opened 4 years ago by zsun.

Describe what you would like us to do:


We've formed the Deepin DE SIG for a while, and we want to formally announce the SIG to call for more packagers to help. So before I send another email to devel list, I want to request for resources that we need for the SIG.

I think we need

  • A SIG-specific mailing list for packagers only, like deepinde-sig@lists.fp.o
  • A public mailing list for users and answering general questions, like deepinde@lists.fp.o
  • After the SIG list created, I'll create a bugzilla account with the list address
  • A group on FAS (or src.fedoraproject.org?) so that we can add commit access to the group, and then when we need to grant packagers commit access we can simply adding him or her to the group. This group need to have the prerequisite that the user should be in the packager group first.
  • Associate the SIG bugzilla account to all the Deepin DE related components
    • (how can I archive this goal? I know I can send PR to fedora-scm-requests repo before, but not sure if it is the right place since I don't see the deepin packages there)
  • Create a copr group so that all the contributors can have a central place to test updates

I know this is a loooooooot of work for infra, or maybe some of them should go to different ticket systems. So if you need separate ticket for each item, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)


There is no deadline of course, but the earlier the better ;-)


If you need backup contact, @cheeselee should be the right person.

@pingou can you do this one? Or if not I can try tomorrow...

I've created the two new mailing list:
- https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/deepinde.lists.fedoraproject.org/
- https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/deepinde-sig.lists.fedoraproject.org/

I've created the deepinde-sig group in FAS: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/deepinde-sig

I've created the deepinde-sig group on src.fp.o: https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/deepinde-sig

The rest of your list is correct, you need to create a BZ account for deepinde-sig@lists.fp.o, set the list to be private (as private tickets opened in bugzilla will be sent there).
To associate the group with the bugzilla, you need to edit the group's preferences in FAS and set the mailing-list address to be deepinde-sig@lists.fp.o, that's how the sync is then done to bugzilla. Then you can simply add the group to the packages of interest on src.fp.o

For COPR I don't really know how groups are synced/handled so I don't know what to do there.

Thanks for the quick response.
I just set the deepinde-sig@l.fp.o to private and created the bugzilla account as well as set the mailing list to the FAS group.
I am travelling at the moment and internet access is limited, so I will check more details after back (probably in early Feb).

Closing this, please reopen if you face any issues
