Comment 2 Ralf Corsepius 2018-01-05 15:09:46 UTC
What am I supposed to do now?

I can't find the old package import request form but found some links pointing to some tool called fedrepo-req, which apparently is of the same quality as most of Fedora in recent times (Read: miserable and rotten):

# fedrepo-req perl-Path-Iter -t 1531380
Error: The "pagure_api_token" setting is not set in the "app" section. Please read https://pagure.io/fedrepo_req/blob/master/f/README.md.

Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2018-01-05 15:27:33 UTC
Follow the "Configuration" section on the linked document.

Basically Pagure does not use Kerberos (nor X.509 certificates or SSH keys). Instead it has it's own authentication system based on "API keys". Once you generate the API key in Pagure web interface and copy it into fedrepo-req configuration file, the fedrepo-req tool should work for another 3 months.

I don't like it either.

Thanks for trying to help, but this all reads "Greek" to me and leaves me as clueless as before.

Well, I am seriously tired of RHAT role in Fedora.

Comment 5 Petr Pisar 2018-01-10 06:46:24 UTC
(1) Go to <https://pagure.io/settings>.
(2) Click "Create new key" at the bottom of the page.
(3) Check "Create a new ticket" in the form and click "Create".
(4) Copy the newly created key (the long string not marked as Expired under neath) from the resulting <https://pagure.io/settings> web page into clipboard.
(4) Create ~/.config/fedrepo_req/config.ini file and put this content there:

[app]
pagure_api_token =

(5) Append the key from the clipboard on the last line of the file.

Comment 6 Ralf Corsepius 2018-01-10 10:41:10 UTC
Oh boy, is usability part of RHAT's and Fedora's releng's vocabulary? I guess, no :(

Several failed attempts with this crappy UI later, things finally seem to have succeeded:
# fedrepo-req perl-Path-Iter -t 1531380
https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/3868

Comment 7 Ralf Corsepius 2018-01-11 05:49:47 UTC
One day later, ... no progress so far - What am I supposed to do now to get this package imported into Fedora's git?

Comment 8 Petr Pisar 2018-01-11 08:51:15 UTC
Waiting. The requests are reviewed by a human being. Or you can complain on #fedora-releng FreeNode channel.

Comment 9 Gwyn Ciesla 2018-01-11 13:45:21 UTC
(fedrepo-req-admin):  The Pagure repository was created at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/perl-Path-Iter

Well, what you say means this new UI just a bunch of usability regressions without any advantages to the users, but to piss off contributors.

We once had a GUI, now we have a clumsy and widely dysfunctional CLI.

Who is the person, who is responsible for this mess? Life is too short to waste time with this UI and is a manifestation of the disrespect RHAT exposes against the community.

perl-Path-Iter-0.2-1.fc27 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 27. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-84434dcb8b

Comment 13 Ralf Corsepius 2018-01-12 04:40:31 UTC
Apparently bodhi integration of this fedrepo crap also is broken.

Bodhi's package forms did not offer me the f26/f27 rpms. Instead, I had to manually enter them.

Furthermore, as things appear to me https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/api/bugzilla is not being updated anymore.

Comment 14 Petr Pisar 2018-01-12 06:02:31 UTC
Since the official FAQ <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/WhatHappenedToPkgdb> was started by mprahl and the fedrepo-req package created by mprahl, I think he's responsible for the implementation.

mprahl, provide usable documentation and fix your software, ASAP.

Both are unusable and a shame for you, to say the least.
