Greetings all, After an extended period of testing, I'm officially announcing the PackageDB as open for (some) business. == What can you do == * Add yourself as an owner * Request to be a comaintainer or added to the CC List * Remove yourself from the above * Approve or reject people requesting the above == What can't you do == * Add new packages. The plan is to add a way to enter the package information via a packagedb interface eventually. Once entered, the information will either be queued for a cvsadmin to look at (similar to how requests are handled currently in bugzilla) or the request will automatically happen if a simple test can detect that the review bug was approved. In talks with a limited number of people, the favorite is queueing for an admin. Please discuss this if you think it should happen automatically. [1]_ * Add a branch. This needs a UI created for it as well. I haven't discussed this yet but it seems that adding branches for currently active Fedora (and EPEL) releases should be done automatically when a maintainer requests it. [2]_ * Add another user to a package. Currently, the person has to request the permissions that they want on the package. Then one of the maintainers approves the permissions. I need to code an interface to allow the package maintainers to add another user directly [3]_ .. _[1]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/packagedb/ticket/18 .. _[2]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/packagedb/ticket/65 .. _[3]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/packagedb/ticket/63 == What's Next == The next few weeks of effort will be quick bugfixes and making sure we're ready for the branching of packages that will be done near Fedora 8 release. -Toshio
