fedpkg is not working for me. Maybe because I need permissions?

No. If following the instructions, a fedpkg mockbuild would take your local files and perform a local build using the "mock" build tool.

Have you thought about telling which error message you've had?

fedpkg clone rpms/vulkan-validation-layers

If I want to package vulakn-sdk for fedora, I dont necessarily need a sponsor?

I'm able to connect to port 22 on 38.145.60.17, suggesting there may be some firewall etc preventing you from connecting.

If you are not a packager, you cannot use ssh to talk to src.fedoraproject.org.

you want to use 'fedpkg clone -a' to use https to clone the repo.

fedpkg clone rpms/vulkan-validation-layers

Well, that is something else than the "Packaging_Tutorial_1_banner" guide you've referred to earlier.

Specifically disabled firewall with: sudo systemctl disable firewalld
still seeing the same error

If you are not a packager, you cannot use ssh to talk to src.fedoraproject.org.

ah. i am going to be the packager from now on....does that mean I add ssh keys somewhere to be able to fedpkg successfully?

Cloning via ssh only works for members of the "packager" group, you just cannot use it yet. Once you are member of the "packager" group, you need to add your SSH keys to your account on accounts.fedoraproject.org, and after those settings are synced to src.fedoraproject.org, you should be able to use git via ssh.

Ideally, your sponsor should explain this and guide you through the initial setup steps after you're sponsored into the packager group.

Let me rephrase : I want to be a member of the packager group. Should I open another ticket for that?

Hi!

I have handled the Vulkan SDK releases since 30/10/2023 (time flies!) and Anusha will help me with the next releases.

I'd be happy to be her sponsor.

I assume you are meaning this process: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Packager_sponsor_policy/#comaintainer

If so I can sponsor them if you agree to mentor them as described in https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Packager_sponsor_policy/#responsibilities

Hi Kevin,

Yes. I'm not a sponsor myself, so I can not add Anusha to the packager group, but I'll mentor her to package the next Vulkan SDK release.

If you could add her to the packager group, it'd be of great help.

Thanks!!

ok. @asrivats you need to agree to the FPCA in the account system ( https://accounts.fedoraproject.org ) before I can add you to the packager group.

@kevin Done :)

I've added you to the packager group.
You will need to logout and back on to src.fedoraproject.org to reflect the new group.

@jexposit let me know if you need anything or run into any problems with mentoring.

Will check once u am back from PTO, thanks !
