#750 Restore packager status for ron
Closed: accepted by kevin. Opened by ron.

Hi,

I am currently in contact with Jun Aruga @jaruga in order to (again) become co-maintainer of a few packages (htslib, samtools and bcftools).

I was the initial packager of samtools, but all of my group memberships - and most importantly my packager status - has been removed due to inactivity.

Is it possible to have the this status restored?

Thanks


Yep. We need to confirm that you are you.

Can you do:

ssh ron@fedorapeople.org touch ~/account-validation-20260125

[ron@orion ~]$ ssh ron@fedorapeople.org touch ~/account-validation-20260125
Connection closed by 152.2.23.109 port 22

Ah sorry, since you were no longer in packager group you didn't have access.
I've re-added you to another group so you should (in a few minutes) have access again.

Thanks, that works.

[ron@orion ~]$ ssh ron@fedorapeople.org "touch ~/account-validation-20260125"
[ron@orion ~]$ ssh ron@fedorapeople.org "ls -l ~/account-validation-20260125"
-rw-r--r--. 1 ron ron 0 Jan 25 18:07 /home/fedora/ron/account-validation-20260125

I've re-added you to the group.

You will need to logout and back on to src.fedoraproject.org in order to refresh your group membership.

Use your powers wisely!

Hi @kevin, I am trying to add the user ron as the access level: commit on the following page. However, I still see the error message "This user must be in one of the following groups to be allowed to be added to this project: packager" when trying to add the user. What's wrong?

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/htslib/adduser

It seems the user ron doesn't have the packager group on the groups page below.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/ron/groups

As a reference, I can see the packager group from my groups page below.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/jaruga/groups

You will need to logout and back on to src.fedoraproject.org in order to refresh your group membership.

This should cause the group memberships to get sync'd. In my experience, doing this in an incognito browser window works more reliably.

The incognito window did the trick. Thanks.
