Description John Heidemann 2019-11-22 19:48:31 UTC
Description of problem:

perl-Fsdb is on epel7, but not epel8
8 is the New Hotness.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Fsdb-2.69-2 should build on epel8

How reproducible:
every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.fedpkg switch-branch epel8
2.
3.

Actual results:
Could not execute switch_branch: Unknown remote branch origin/epel8


Expected results:
Switched to branch 'epel8'


Additional info:
It seems like a shame this action requires opening a ticket.

Comment 1 John Heidemann 2019-11-22 19:51:28 UTC
fedpkg request-repo  epel8 1775789

fails with

Could not execute request_repo: The Bugzilla bug provided is not the proper type


It's unclear how I get epel8 added :-(

Comment 3 Paul Howarth 2019-11-23 15:21:42 UTC
Request the branch as follows from your existing checkout of perl-Fsdb:

  fedpkg request-branch epel8

You don't need to specify a bugzilla ticket as this is not a new (to Fedora/EPEL) package.

Comment 4 John Heidemann 2019-11-24 00:11:34 UTC
Thanks, Paul.

However, fedpkg request-branch epel8
gives

Could not execute request_branch: The following error occurred while creating a new issue in Pagure: Invalid or expired token. Please visit https://pagure.io/settings#nav-api-tab to get or renew your API token.
For invalid or expired token refer to "fedpkg request-repo -h" to set a token in your user configuration.

which seems to suggest I do

fedpkg request-repo epel8 1775789

Which leads back to the error message I reported in comment 1.

What am I doing wrong?

Comment 5 Paul Howarth 2019-11-24 10:42:09 UTC
No, it's saying you've got an expired Pagure token.

Get a new token from https://pagure.io/settings/token/new (I usually tick all the boxes) and it goes in ~/.config/rpkg/fedpkg.conf

Then try the fedpkg request without the ticket number again.

Comment 6 John Heidemann 2019-11-25 01:51:00 UTC
Thanks.  I had a non-expired token that I got for this purpose.
But at your prompting I got a new token and also chmod'ed the fedpkg.conf go-rwx.  One of those two things fixed it and seems to have created two tickets in fedora-scm-requests.

I guess that means that this ticket was not needed (other than to get me to retry that step)?

Comment 7 Paul Howarth 2019-11-25 07:24:52 UTC
Well now that you have this ticket you can reference it in the update for the EPEL-8 package when you've built it.

Comment 8 John Heidemann 2019-11-26 06:58:10 UTC
Yes, thank you very much.  Epel8 should now be active.

Comment 9 John Heidemann 2019-11-26 06:58:26 UTC
Yes, thank you very much.  Epel8 should now be active.

Comment 10 Paul Howarth 2019-11-27 09:46:35 UTC
You still need to submit an update to get the package into epel8, just the same as you will have done for epel7.

The separate build for epel8-playground does not need an update.
