I'm trying this for the first time (hadn't even noticed it was there!). I've been using the src.fp.o github style forking from the web.
I cloned a random project of mine and then tried:
$ fedpkg fork
Could not execute do_distgit_fork: The following error occurred while creating a new fork: Invalid or expired token. Please visit
https://src.fedoraproject.org/settings#nav-api-tab to get or renew your API token.
For invalid or expired token refer to "fedpkg fork -h" to set a token in your user configuration.
I checked src.fp.o/settings and even though my key was still valid, it was going to expire this month so I went ahead and generated a new api token and saved it in the specified location:
~/.config/rpkg/fedpkg.conf
But I still get the same message 10 minutes later.
I've got the same problem. I think it uses wrong remote path:
Maybe it was working before, but then certain update happened.
If you check clone options in UI in Pagure interface, the url will look like:
There is no variant with "any".
The API token is valid and works, as the fork is created. It is only the remote path which is broken.
So I ended up calling git remote explicitly after the fork command to change the remote uri.
And I think forking your own repo for pull-requests makes perfect sense, especially since distgit doesn't allow you to remove temporary branches from the main repo.
