Hi Factory ML:

Ceph[1] is a unified, distributed storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability and scalability.

openATTIC[2] is a storage management and monitoring tool that our team is currently in the process of adapting to work with Ceph clusters.

My colleagues and I are very interested to submit the latest, greatest versions of these two interesting pieces of software to openSUSE:Factory.

Projects are already created:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/filesystems:ceph https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/filesystems:openATTIC

What do we need to do to obtain "Factory devel project" status for these projects?

Thanks in advance, Nathan Cutler

Hello Nathan,

It is simple. If these are not in Factory, SR from these repos to openSUSE:Factory and then they automagically become the -devel repos for Factory. 

Except: factory-auto will decline them from coming from a not-yet- approvied/known devel repo..  In essence: there are two ways to promote any repo to be a Factory- devel-repo: * After a package move to a new location, file a changedevelreq for that package to tne new location. If that new location was not yet a devel repo, upon accepting the chgdev, it WILL be a devel repo and all future submissions from this repo, incl. all other packages in there, are accepted * If the repo does not contain any moved packages, thus is really new stuff, factory-auto needs to learn that this is still intended. In this case, a pullreq against openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory will be required. At the moment, the dictionary to be updated is at: https://github.com/openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory/blob/master/osc-check_so urce.py#L249 (the line will possibly change, based on other changes.. hence 'actually') These are the only two supported and accepted ways I am aware of.
