[opensuse-buildservice] catch 22 - cannot decline request to delete repository in web ui
I logged in to build.opensuse.org today, and discovered that yet another mass-deletion threat has been issued, and I almost missed it. I currently have 38 remove requests, and each one says it will be removed automatically in a couple of weeks if I don't respond to the request by declining it. When I try to decline it, I just get an error page that says: "403: Forbidden Sorry but you don't have the necessary permissions for this request. We think it's best if you try to start again from the home page." I need to decline these requests or I need them to be revoked before the axe falls on them. How often will these dead-man switch purges go out? I have a lot of old repos for a reason. The logic in the message: "This repository builds against a distribution which is not officially maintained anymore by its vendor. Therefore it should not be used anymore." ...is an invalid and rude assumption. I have to maintain packages myself precisely BECAUSE they are "not maintained any more by it's vendor". -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

This should be working now. Reported on IRC and fixed within minutes by darix. Thanks, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

sorry to hijack this, but I think there's a problem not only with requests. I cannot use the search, and logging out also gives me a HTTP/403. Is there a way we user can help? --- Eric -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

This doesn't sound like a hijack to me. So there is probably a more general web ui problem at the moment it seems like. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
