Re: Request for sponsorship my debian-packages on mentors
What does "Stick with your own ITP packages for now" mean?
Should I ultimately use flight-deck or upload repositories from my
space to go-team? I tried creating repositories through the
flight-deck website, but I got the error "Failed to create merge
request: failed to create branch: GitLab API error (403 Forbidden):
403 Forbidden." Even though I created a personal access token and set
the scopes read_user, read_repository, read_registry, read_api,
write_repository, api, self_rotate, and write_registry.
So far, I've been able to upload the golang-github-marusama-semaphore
package from my space to go-team.
Was this the right decision?
