Tonight we're planning on deploying a couple of new features in CVS for packages. If you read the FESCo meeting notes, you've already heard about them. 1) ACLs To add an ACL to your package, add a 'pkg.acl' file to either the package toplevel, or to a particular branch, such as FC-6 or devel. ACLs are inherited; branches will inherit ACLs from the toplevel. The ACL file format is simply a list of account names, one per line. You can add comment lines with '#'. Access is determined as follows: No pkg.acl file: all are allowed access Empty pkg.acl file: only the package owner [1] is allowed access. Populated pkg.acl file: only the package owner and those in the file are allowed access. pkg.acl files can only be added/deleted/modified by the package owner. As part of this change, there are two changes to how certain processes will work: - owners.list and owners.epel.list are now locked down. To request changes, please send mail to cvsadmin-members@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (This may be replaced with the wiki or the ticketing system really fast.) - packages, by default, on import will have a empty pkg.acl added. These can be removed by the owner if they truly wish. 2) E-mail notification By defalt, e-mail notification will now be sent on all package commits to the package owner, and any co-maintainers listed in the pkg.acl files. The format will be exactly the same format as is sent to the commits list. Bill [1] 'Package owner' is defined as the union of the owners listed in owners.list and owners.epel.list -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
