I've just tried to request a byteman branch for the objectweb-asm rpms repo. Here is what I did:
byteman
objectweb-asm
$ pwd /home/sgehwolf/Documents/rpm_packaging/fedora/objectweb-asm $ fedpkg --module-name byteman request-branch byteman --no-auto-module --sl rawhide:2018-12-01
That created a ticket like this: https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/7273
Note the "repo": "byteman" value in the json.
"repo": "byteman"
I'm not sure why. Some more info on the objectweb-asm repo clone:
$ git remote -v origin ssh://jerboaa@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/forks/jerboaa/rpms/objectweb-asm.git (fetch) origin ssh://jerboaa@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/forks/jerboaa/rpms/objectweb-asm.git (push) upstream-ssh ssh://jerboaa@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/objectweb-asm (fetch) upstream-ssh ssh://jerboaa@pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/objectweb-asm (push)
Version info: $ rpm -q fedpkg fedpkg-1.33-2.fc28.noarch
Are you trying to request a branch for objectweb-asm?
Yes. Sorry, if that wasn't obvious. The above commands were run from a local clone of objectweb-asm rpms/objectweb-asm repo.
@jerboaa The problem should be you use fedpkg --module-name byteman, instead byteman should be replaced with objectweb-asm.
fedpkg --module-name byteman
fedpkg has already have new option --repo for request-branch, hence that command to request a branch can be rewritten in this way:
--repo
fedpkg request-branch byteman --repo objectweb-asm --no-auto-module --sl rawhide:2018-12-01
Just to summarize, for the case above, all of the commands will work with the same result:
fedpkg --name objectweb-asm request-branch byteman --no-auto-module --sl rawhide:2020-12-01 fedpkg request-branch byteman --no-auto-module --sl rawhide:2020-12-01 --repo objectweb-asm
(for the next command, repo is detected as a current directory)
fedpkg request-branch byteman --no-auto-module --sl rawhide:2020-12-01
