Related to this, if anyone has a Tool with an existing repository that is hosted in Diffusion (either directly or mirrored from Gerrit), feel free to open a ticket in the #Striker project asking to have it connected with your tool. I can manually alter the permissions on the Phabricator side to match what the admin console would do for a new repo and register it with the application's tracking database. I thought about making some UI for this in the app itself, but decided that the number of affected users was small enough that I could just handle it directly instead of introducing clutter. h/t to Luke081515 for bringing this topic up on irc to prompt this addendum Bryan -- Bryan Davis Wikimedia Foundation <[email protected]> [[m:User:BDavis_(WMF)]] Sr Software Engineer Boise, ID USA irc: bd808 v:415.839.6885 x6855 _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
