How to get upload rights for existing packages

How to get upload rights for existing packages

[Michael Feher]

Hello everybody!

The maintainers of the "task" package (taskwarrior.org) have asked on 
their homepage for support with the cygwin package of their software. I 
have received from them the information which steps are required to 
create an updated cygwin package and now I have the corresponding 
packages for 32 and 64 bit cygwin installation.

My question is now which steps are necessary to be able to upload these 
packages to the cygwin servers and how can I do this.

Thanks Mike

In theory the current maintainer is:

task          Federico Hernandez

  https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2012-03/msg00064.html

Assuming Federico is dropping the job to you, please read:

  https://cygwin.com/setup.html
  https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html

Feel free to ask any question on the matter on this mailing list.

Before upload we will need to review your package proposal for
a "Good To Go" check.

Federico updated task the last time in March 2015.  He may still
be around, so let's give him a nudge.

Federico, ping?

The request was not really about replacing Federico. He is one of the 
original authors of taskwarrior and they have asked on their homepage 
for support with the update of the cygwin package. Therefore I have 
contacted them and got from Federico the instructions how to package 
taskwarrior for cygwin.

Now i have the ready packages and it is that either Federico has to 
upload the packages to cygwin which is to my understanding not perfectly 
correct as he is not the original creator of the package or I upload the 
packages by myself.

I personally would prefer if Federico could still be kept as a package 
maintainer and I could just be added but I do not know if this is possible.

This is not quite how it works.  The maintainer has upload permissions
using his/her ssh key.  You only get to do that if you become package
maintainer.  See https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html

Sure, but co-maintenance _is_ possible, with each of the maintainers
having their own separate upload area.

Yes, but Michael still has to become maintainer, even if co-maintainer.

True, in the absence of anything better he should probably ITA the
package and have the current maintainer chime in with his OK for
co-maintainership.

Yep, sounds right to me.
