985098 - Request for a new git repository

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: General, task)

Description

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

I'd like the following repository to be created on git.mozilla.org so I can migrate the bugzilla.org site source from CVS to git:

/www/bugzilla.org.git

Thanks!

needinfo on Hal for releng signoff

The permissions for the cvs repo are taken from despot; we should use those for this repo (plus me :)

Mark - we're probably getting to the end of your list, but the request process is at:
  https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/RepositoryCreationRequest

Naming is good -- I don't know if the "despot" permissions are usable for git. If not, let's chat -- we would like to have fewer exceptions.

:mcote, which bugzilla cvs repo? there are several, and they all have slightly different members. 

:hwine, I'm not sure what you mean, but that's partly because cvs/despot is a godawful ancient cesspit that's barely documented.

[Mark Côté [:mcote]]

It's the one referred to in bug 986759; not Bugzilla, just the website, bugzilla.org.

It means I know even less about despot, but defer to you on all matters of "can we support weird permission grouping X" :)

If I'm reading despot correctly, we're going to have a small problem. CVS uses it's own authentication method, which is not LDAP; git uses LDAP. So, the CVS owner ([e-mail]) and peer ([e-mail]), and one of the members do not have LDAP entries (that git can find, at least).

:justdave does have an ssh key, so pointing git at the should be easy, but I'm willing to bet that we'll need an account created for bzrmirror, and possibly the other member ([e-mail]; but I'm not certain that members have write access to CVS atm).

Based on the permissions you found, I think you're looking at the wrong repo.

This is /www/bugzilla-org that we're trying to move here, not /cvsroot/mozilla/webtools/bugzilla (which has already moved).

I just looked in despot, and there is apparently no despot module for this repo, which means anyone with a CVS account currently has write access to it.  Probably not ideal, but we apparently never ran into problems with it. :-)

The following people should have write access to the new repo:

[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]
[e-mail]

I forgot Teemu :(

[e-mail] should also have write access.

Ok, repo created. https://git.mozilla.org/?p=www/bugzilla.org.git;a=summary

Thanks, :justdave!
