**fesco #3360** (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3360):**provenpackager nomination for james**

17:07:27
So, my objection here remains that I think any provenpackager approval needs to be related to a particular objective, not merely a subjective decision about a person's capability.
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:07:53
I agree
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:08:05
I've not read the comments added this morning yet.
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:08:06
I thought while reading this before the meeting. Releng has a group sysadmin-releng that allows members to push to all distgit repositories.
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:08:25
can we use that group for work like mass rebuild fixes and so on
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:08:50
sure. The riscv help is reasonable tho...
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:09:02
what is the difference with provenpackager then, permission wise?
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:09:20
we probibly need to revamp the process / guidelines... but that is a bigger discussion
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:09:54
Hmm, I reread the original post more carefully.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:10:08
"I've not built any non-scratch builds for Fedora in the past few years"
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:10:19
I somehow missed that part.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:10:34
Stephen Gallagher: I'm always reminded of back when we started provenpackagers and several of the folks there only approved it because they thought it should be 'easy to be added' if you show you know what you are doing.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:10:34
and we seem to ask some people for detailed plans, and others we just approve... not very consistent. ;(
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:10:35
yeah, the part of not having done builds recently gave me pause too
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:10:39
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/builds?userID=james&order=-build_id shows no builds since f24.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:10:51
OK, so based on that, I'll change my vote to -1.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:11:15
It seems wrong to jump from "no activity" to "unconstrained activity".
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:11:23
nirik: I'm pretty sure I've always asked for detailed plans. There may have been other times I wasn't around when the discussion happened.
<@decathorpe:fedora.im>
17:11:52
I think if the criterion for removal from the group due to inactivity is satisfied at the time membership is requested, that's not a good sign 😅
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:13:29
so I little bit confused by the votes in the ticket.
<@james:fedora.im>
17:14:49
Not to push people to move on unnecessarily. But my understanding is that a single -1 is a no ... and we have two -1 now.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:14:51
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Packager_sponsor_policy/#who_sponsors_the_sponsors is the current policy
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:15:12
No, that's the wrong one.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:15:13
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Provenpackager_policy/#_becoming_provenpackager
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:15:20
oh, sorry, right.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:15:40
so yeah, normal fesco voting rules
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:15:45
tl;dr: sponsors vote, and if there is disagreement, fesco votes.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:15:46
(once there is a -1)
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:15:53
Right.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:17:18
Returning to Stephen's point, I think that asking for detailed plans has only limited usefulness. Many people become pps to do something, and a few months later that thing is done, but they keep doing other useful things. So I think we should be fine with a general "I want to help with …" motivation.
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:17:51
So I don't find the lack of clear agenda such a big problem. But lack of current activity is a big problem for me.
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:18:12
I think the initial agenda has value, if only in demonstrating that the powers are used well
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:18:22
That is true.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:18:24
but we never really revisit them...
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:18:51
also, it could well constrain someone... oh, I could help with that, but... sorry, I got this to do this other thing.
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:19:21
nirik: Only once in memory has there been sufficient cause to revisit it
<@decathorpe:fedora.im>
17:19:22
I'm sure James Antill is up to date with current packaging guidelines (as FPC chair) - but maybe just not with current packager tooling? not sure if that should be a consideration here or not.
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:19:31
anyhow, thats moving into the revamp of the policy. ;) James Antill: would you be ok to withdraw and resubmit later after you have more activity?
<@james:fedora.im>
17:20:03
I'm fine with a rejection. :)
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:21:55
hm so I see +2,2,-2 including the change in vote
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:22:22
I'm pretty sure there's -3; zbyszek , Conan Kudo and myself
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:22:29
oh
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:22:38
I'm switching to -1 as well
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:22:48
also didn't notice the lack of activity before, sorry
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:23:58
ok so the only +1 is kevin I am 0 as well as Fale
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:24:26
With two 0's, that makes -4 definitive
<@humaton:fedora.im>
17:25:18
!agreed provenpackager nomination for james is rejected (+1, 2, -4)

<@sgallagh:fedora.im>

<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
