--- Comment #7 from Antoine "hashar" Musso <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #6) > Maybe someone can explain to what it means to upload the package? Whenever a package under operations/debs has been changed, someone from ops has to fetch it on a build machine, create the package and upload it on apt.wikimedia.org. When the package has been properly tested on labs under Ubuntu Precise, its probably less than half an hour to achieve the process. To prevent anyone from getting root access on the cluster via a malicious package, only Wikimedia roots are allowed to upload a package on apt.wikimedia.org, most of them are part of the operations team which use RT as an issue tracker. So the process is roughly: 1) fill a RT 2) ping ops folks in #wikimedia-operations 3) repeat Even internally, it usually takes me a few weeks to get any package uploaded there. > If it's a lot of work it might be faster for me to create an own repository? You can also upload the package on launchpad.net :-) They have the concept of ppa repositories which are more liberal and publicly available. That being said, if the package has to land on the Wikimedia cluster, it MUST be uploaded on apt.wikimedia.org. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
