Aaron- as a side note, what is involved in setting up a developer on the main site? While I'm on my archweb kick I want to see what is required and what might be older cruft still sitting around. So I guess I'm looking for a walkthrough of whatever you did.
It's easy.
Change "role" to "Developer" (or add a new user if they weren't a TU) Give access to extra and testing repos And change the email address to .archlinux.org Change the "group" to Developers... * Not sure if this one works... There ARE permission groups there, but I recall they don't work as well as they should
Do you use the "Create a New User" custom admin page (https://dev.archlinux.org/devel/newuser/), or go into the "Add User" (https://dev.archlinux.org/admin/auth/user/add/) page? And as far as perm groups go, the future is now- that is what actually matters these days. I'm going to make that a bit more straightforward in the future so we don't have too much information duplication like we do now. -Dan
