AskFedora has moved to Discourse!
by Ankur Sinha 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hello everyone! We wanted to get the word out on the mailing lists that AskFedora has now moved to Discourse at https://askbeta.fedoraproject.org. In the next few days, https://ask.fedoraproject.org will also begin to point here. Our older askbot instance is now in read-only mode, and will be moved to https://askbot.fedoraproject.org. We have tried to time this change with the F30 release so that users installing or upgrading to our newest offering also get to use the shiny new forum. You can read more about the move on this CommBlog post: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/moving-ask-fedora-to-discourse-phas… If you can please find some time to regularly check AskFedora to interact with users there, that would be very helpful. We're supporting multiple languages to make the site more accessible to our global community and userbase. We're also focussing on community discussion and contribution on the new forum with the hope that it'll help convert users into contributors. A Fedora Magazine post on this change is in review, and will announce it to the wider audience outside the Fedora community. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London

Retirement of cgit access to src.fedoraproject.org
by Kevin Fenzi 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

Greetings, In the past, src.fedoraproject.org git repositories have been accessable via the pagure[1] interface or via the cgit web interface. We have been planning some changes to the way the backend git repositories are stored on src.fedoraproject.org: from local bare repos to repoSpanner[2] clustered and distributed repositories. This will allow multiple frontends for that data, including sharing them with git.centos.org. This change however meant that cgit could no longer have access to the bare git repositories and thus would no longer work. Please adjust any workflows you may have that use cgit to use the main pagure interface. Thanks, [1] https://pagure.io/pagure [2] https://github.com/repoSpanner

announcing HTTPS pushing to dist-git/src.fedoraproject.org for packagers and non-packagers
by Kevin Fenzi 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Greetings. I'm happy to announce that you can now use https to push commits to src.fedoraproject.org. You will need to use 'fedpkg clone -a' and have a session with a running browser to do the initial authentication, but after that everything should be transparent. Users who are not part of the 'packager' group can now use this to push to forks of projects to create pull requests. Please see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/HTTPS-commits for more details. We hope this support will allow more community members to contribute along with allowing more flexibility to maintainers who don't always have SSH access. kevin
