[opensuse-buildservice] Managing a new devel repo
All, At my request a new repo (security:forensics) has been created. I have used "osc copypac" to populate it with about 60 packages that I maintain in various other devel repos. All 60 are either forensics specific packages or packages I created to satisfy novel dependencies of a forensic package. At some point I want to change things to have security:forensics be the official home of these packages from factories perspective. Questions: - How do I make security:forensics a legitimate source of SRs to factory. - Given I have 60 or so packages to "osc changedevelrequest" (CRs), when is the right time to do that? Now before 13.2 is put to bed or wait a few weeks until 13.2 is truly separated from factory. Or wait until after 13.2 is truly out so the team has a break. - When the time is right, should I do all 60 at one whack, or should I spread them out over time so as not to overwhelm the factory review team. - Do I need to reach out to anyone directly before I start issuing CRs. - Once the CRs are done, do I just issue a bunch of osc deletes? Since I'm a maintainer on all these packages I think that will just make it happen and not issue a SR for people to see.

changedevelreq.

Anytime.
- When the time is right, should I do all 60 at one whack, or should I spread them out over time so as not to overwhelm the factory review team.
There is no real review needed for CDRs. Smuggling in different code would become evident once an SR is issued.
- Do I need to reach out to anyone directly before I start issuing CRs.
The package maintainer.. that would be you.
- Once the CRs are done, do I just issue a bunch of osc deletes?
rdelete if you are sole maintainer (per pkg meta), dr+accept on shared maintainership. That's just to notify others. Having two copies is not such a good state to have, so the sooner it gets deleted, the better. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
