Release Engineering Tasks that would benefit from automation
- Adopting a package
- TBD
Adopting a package
Currently when a packager wants to adopt a package that was previously orphan he needs to file a ticket for releng to process the requests (example : https://pagure.io/releng/issues?status=Closed&search_pattern=orphan)
The following need to be true for a package to be sucessfully adopted.
- the package is not retired
- the package is actually orphaned
- the package is orphaned for less than 2 weeks
- the person adopting the package is in the packager FAS group
When all these conditions are meet the following script can be use to give the package https://pagure.io/releng/blob/master/f/scripts/distgit/give-package.py
