See 2.3.1 - It deals with the FAS account creation.

To do so, you must use a <Remote pull-request (https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/pull_requests.html#remote-git-to-pagure-pull-request)>, f.e. with <Pagure (https://pagure.io/new)> Also, I do not understood what you meant with "The requirement to be a packager is being worked on." > > What do you think? I think it is valuable information and should be added to the wiki :) Thanks! > I can edit the wiki. Can you? Note that to edit the wiki you must be in at least one extra FAS group other the the CLA ones. -- Athos Ribeiro http://www.ime.usp.br/~athoscr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
