Branch creation for unretired package

[Mohamed El Morabity]

Hello,

I'm the maintainer of the nicotine+ package. This package was retired
before F32 branching last year (no Python 3 support at this time) and
I unretired it after a review request and a unretirement request
ticket to releng.
I requested a branch creation for f32 using "fedpkg request-branch",
as suggested in the reply to my unretirement ticket. The SCM ticket is
at https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/27217
As replied on the ticket, I'm supposed to create by myself the branch
using git (git branch -b f32/git push -u origin f32), since "The
branch in PDC already exists" (sic). And I have no right to perform
the branch creation as suggested:

Am I missing something? Is there a particular procedure for unretired packages?

Best regards,

[Andy Mender]

I was in a similar situation recently. Please, have a look here:

In order to unretire a package you need to claim its maintainership and all
already existing branches.

Cheers,

There is nothing like maintainership of a particular branch. You either own
the package, or you don't.

The package is already owned by "melmorabity" user, according to Pagure:

$ wget -q -O - https://src.fedoraproject.org/api/0/rpms/nicotine+
{
  "access_groups": {
    "admin": [], 
    "commit": [], 
    "ticket": []
  }, 
  "access_users": {
    "admin": [], 
    "commit": [], 
    "owner": [
      "melmorabity"
    ], 
    "ticket": []
  }, 
  "close_status": [], 
  "custom_keys": [], 
  "date_created": "1501871308", 
  "date_modified": "1595407922", 
  "description": "The nicotine+ rpms", 
  "fullname": "rpms/nicotine+", 
  "id": 10857, 
  "milestones": {}, 
  "name": "nicotine+", 
  "namespace": "rpms", 
  "parent": null, 
  "priorities": {}, 
  "tags": [], 
  "url_path": "rpms/nicotine+", 
  "user": {
    "fullname": "Mohamed ElMorabity", 
    "name": "melmorabity", 
    "url_path": "user/melmorabity"
  }
}

If dist-git refuses pushing f32 branch as quoted in
<https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/27217#comment-666852>;:

$ git push -u origin f32
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
remote: Unspecified ref refs/heads/f32 is blocked
remote: Denied push for ref 'refs/heads/f32' for user 'melmorabity'
remote: All changes have been rejected
To ssh://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nicotine+
 ! [remote rejected] f32 -> f32 (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to
'ssh://[e-mail]/rpms/nicotine+'

Then the problem is that a synchrization of permissions between Pagure and
dist-git got broken. I recommend you asking for help rel-engs
<https://pagure.io/releng/issues>;.
<https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue> SCM requests are
maintained by a robot that won't help you.

I think relengs' advice will be log out and log in on Pagure web page
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/>;.

This is the second report I see about something odd with an F32 branch, the
previous report is: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9615

Would you be available to debug this on IRC by any chances?

Feel free to drop by #fedora-admin whenever you can.

Thanks,
Pierre

I'm pretty sure that your issue with nicotine+ was the same as the one above, in
which case it should be fixed now :)
