Hi,
But what is done now if such a situation arises? Contact the package
maintainer and ask for co-maintainership on EPEL? If he agrees what
are the next steps, ask cvsadmin-members to branch and set ACLs
proper? Can cvsadmin-members touch ACLs at all, or is there another
entity involved?
Unless I am wrong, there are currently 2 possibilities to have
comaintainership:
* 'full comaintainership': added in a field of owners.list.
See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure
for the procedure. The comaintainer has full access to all the
branches, and may even change te ACLs (unless I'm wrong).
* tacit comaintainership: agree with maintainer, and be comaintainer.
somebody should then ask for an EPEL branch (as in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure
) and the primary package maintainer should adjust ACLs such that
the comaintainer can touch on the EPEL branches.
