Troubleshooting and Resolution
Adding a new Pseudo User as a package owner
Sometimes you want to have a mailing list own a package so that bugzilla email is assigned to the mailing list. Doing this requires adding a new pseudo user to the account system and assigning that person as the package maintainer.
Template:Notice/ 1. Log into a box that can access db2. 1. Log into the db as a user that can make changes
$ psql -U apache -h db2 fedorausers fedorausers>
1. Find the current pseudo-users
fedorausers> select id, username from person where id < 10000 order by id; id | username ------+------------------ 9900 | orphan 9901 | anaconda-maint
1. Create a new account with the next available id after 9900
fedorausers> insert into person (id, username, email, human_name, password, creation, approval_status, otrs_orgid) values (9902, 'xen-maint', 'xen-maint@redhat.com', 'Xen Maintainers', '', now(), 'approved', 'Fedora');
1. Connect to the pkgdb as a user that can make changes
$ psql -U pkgdbadmin -h db2 pkgdb pkgdb>
1. Add the current package owner as a comaintainer of the package. If this user is not currently on he acls for the package you can use the following database queries:
insert into personpackagelisting (userid, packagelistingid)
select pl.owner, pl.id from packagelisting as pl, package as p
where p.id = pl.packageid and p.name in ('xen', 'kernel-xen-2.6');
insert into personpackagelistingacl (personpackagelistingid, acl, statuscode)
select ppl.id, 'build', 3 from personpackagelisting as ppl, packagelisting as pl, package as p
where p.id = pl.packageid and pl.id = ppl.packagelistingid and pl.owner = ppl.userid
and p.name in ('xen', 'kernel-xen-2.6');
insert into personpackagelistingacl (personpackagelistingid, acl, statuscode)
select ppl.id, 'commit', 3 from personpackagelisting as ppl, packagelisting as pl, package as p
where p.id = pl.packageid and pl.id = ppl.packagelistingid
and pl.owner = ppl.userid
and p.name in ('xen', 'kernel-xen-2.6');
insert into personpackagelistingacl (personpackagelistingid, acl, statuscode)
select ppl.id, 'approveacls', 3 from personpackagelisting as ppl, packagelisting as pl, package as p
where p.id = pl.packageid and pl.id = ppl.packagelistingid
and pl.owner = ppl.userid
and p.name in ('xen', 'kernel-xen-2.6');
If the owner is in the acls, you will need to figure out which packages already acls and only add the new acls for that one. 1. Reassign the pseudo-user to be the new owner
update packagelisting set owner = 9902 from package as p
where packagelisting.packageid = p.id and p.name in ('xen', 'kernel-xen-2.6');
