Hello,
this is not a regular support message. I was not able to find clear
information in the wiki or somewhere else. Please point me to it if
exist. My intention is to improve the related wiki pages about it.
The command "salsa create_repo" do not work because of a missing
SALSA_TOKEN. Technically it is clear to me why this happens. My question
is how am I supposed to handle that in the context of DPT and its
policy.
The error message:
salsa warn: SALSA_TOKEN not set in configuration files. Some
commands may fail
salsa warn: Project not created: Error POSTing
https://salsa.debian.org/api/v4/projects (HTTP 401): Unauthorized
{"message":"401 Unauthorized"} at
/usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Salsa/create_repo.pm line 36.
OK, I logged into Salsa and navigated to "User Settings" -> "Access
Tokens".
I assume I have to create a "Personal Access Tokens" instead of a "Feed
Token" or "Incoming mail token"?
Are there any suggestions or recommendations from DPT about the
"Expiration date"?
What is about "select scopes"? I see 10 unchecked items. They are
described but it is not totally clear for new users what they are about
or what the implications are. Any recommendations from DPT about that?
Just select all?
A more broad question: I never used tokens before. I do use SSH keys
when accessing Codeberg, GitHub or something else. Are this tokens a
replacement for SSH keys? Should I prefer one of this two methods?
Thanks in advance
Christian Buhtz
