---------------------------------------------
Hm. So it took me a moment to re-read FINERACT-961 and FINERACT-962, and
remember :P that the Renovate bot and Dependabot were not the same thing at
all; I was all confused what was which...
https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/renovate.json is still there.
https://app.renovatebot.com/dashboard#github/apache/fineract which I had linked
to in FINERACT-962 but not looked at in 1.5 years (because "it just worked")
does still let me login - but it's "empty" (for me).
https://github.com/apps/forking-renovate is another link I found in
FINERACT-962; I've just attempted to click through there to "Update Forking
Renovate's repository access" hoping that might magically do the trick, but
_"This action must be performed by an organization owner."_ [~ptuomola] I
think the it's possible that some change at ASF Infra might have broken
Renovate Bot for Apache Fineract... [~cml] ([~clambert] ?) remember
INFRA-20365, could something related to that have changed in the last few
months?
[~rarkins] are you still involved with Renovate, since the acquisition (BTW
congratulations, very very happy for you!) by Whitesource, and would possibly
be willing to have a quick look to help us here? (Apache Fineract was that
"humanitarian open source project to 'end poverty one line of code at a
time'".) This is for https://github.com/apache/fineract, NOT
https://github.com/openMF/fineract. (I'm only saying this because on the left
hand menu on the Dashboard I see a lot of repos from openMF, for some reason.)
[~ptuomola] if we cannot get Renovate Bot to work again, I don't know if now,
1.5 years after my initial investigations in FINERACT-961 and FINERACT-962,
switching to Dependabot may be an option. GitHub acquired that, and it's now
"native"; in theory someone at ASF Infra with access to the "Settings" tab of
https://github.com/apache/fineract should be able to enable that with 1 click.
[~awasum] FYI.
