Hi,
I am one of GSoC students of this year and my project is to bring
pkgs.fp.org <
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/> on a pagure instance. The
script is almost ready but there is one issue which needs some advice.
The group *provenpackagers* currently has commit rights over all the
repositories. As you might know, in pagure if some group has commit rights
on a repository, all the members of that group also has rights on the
project and it's listed as their own project. This would mean that all the
members of provenpackagers would have >18k projects of their own.
Example:
1.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/pingou/
2.
https://pkgs.stg.fedoraproject.org/pagure/user/pingou
(it says 1119 projects, it's under investigation at the moment.)
pingou came out with two ideas:
*1. Drop provenpackagers from pagure: *This would mean the proven packagers
won't get any particular advantage of shifting to pagure as they won't be
listed as admins of all the projects in the pagure db. They won't be able
to merge/close pull requests, edit a file directly via the web-interface or
execute any other admin rights on any of the repository they wish. They
would, however, have access to all the git repositories as they would be
present in gitolite conf file. They would be able to push to any of the
repositories as it is the case at present.
*2. Create exception for provenpackagers:* This is hackish. We can give
them admin rights on all the repositories but won't show them in their
profile. (only for provenpackager group). Proven packagers will get all the
fun on moving to pagure.
pingou is inclined to go with the first option and so am i.
What do you think? Does anyone have a strong preference for
one or the other?
Thanks,
Vivek
