For anyone reading who might find this useful, this is the command-line
I used. (Change the awk regex to match your packages.)

  # install pkgdb-cli
  dnf install packagedb-cli

  # get list of packages
  pkgdb-cli list --user jamielinux | awk '$1 ~
/^node|mocha|uglify-js*|coffee-script|marked|docco|expresso|jasmine|^js-|lessjs|web-assets|ycssmin|npm|libuv/
{print $1}' > pkg.txt

  # check contents
  less pkg.txt

  # grant acl
  for i in $(cat pkg.txt); do pkgdb-cli update \
    --approve $i commit group::nodejs-sig all; sleep 0.5s; done

It's running as I type this :)


Kind regards,
