openSUSE admin

Hi,

I've posted "How to add a new project under specific namespace?" [1]
Then Rubhan kindly advised me to contact admin@opensuse.org.

[1] https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/buildservice@lists.opensuse.org/thread/UPOJG6UX7KMMISVIGPWT35JV4KPUWFRZ/

Here is the summary:

• want to create a completely new sub-project "milter-manager" under server:mail
• want me (kenhys) [2] as a maintainer role for that "milter-manager" sub-project.

[2] https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:kenhys

Could you create above one, please?

Regards,

Hi Hayashi,

Thanks for contacting us. To create a new sub-project under
server:mail you need to contact the maintainers. They can create a
sub-project for you. If you want to create a completely new project
outside of your home project, you can send a request to
admin@opensuse.org.

I hope it answers your query. If that doesn't help then please let us know.

Kind regards,
Rubhan

Hi,

According to https://build.opensuse.org/project/new,
When I want to create a new project outside of my home project,
I need to contact via email, but, apparently, it will not work because it
bounces email (noreply@opensuse.org). It seems that it is a known-issue since
2022.

Is there documented instruction on how to request a new project under
existing specific namespace (such as server:mail) ?

What I learned from the existing documentation, it should create a
new project in my case, but I couldn't find official documentation to do it yet.

I've tried to use obs under my home project [2] whether it satisfies
our requirement
in beforehand.

Here are our requirements for milter-manager project:

1. maintain the package under the meaningful namespace

   • package itself may be maintained under the home project, but it is better to maintain under a more meaningful namespace because milter-manager is related to mail service.

2. publish multiple versions in the same repository

   • maintain the latest version only is not enough.
   • It may work by submitting multiple versioned package to server:mail namespace, but it causes namespace polutions with milter-manager-1.x.x, milter-manager-2.x.x and more.
   • To avoid such a situation, it should be server:mail:milter-manager project to group multiple versions under it's own project namespace.

3. want to publish not only openSUSE, but also other distributions

   • It requires configuring project meta information to do, so it can't be satisfied with submitting packages to server:mail. It need to own server:mail:milter-manager project namespace.

To satisfy both of them, I want to create a new project.

Correct me if I understand wrongly.
