[Bioc-devel] how to get write permission of my R Bioconductor package to Bioconductor github

Wed, Mar 4, 2020 7:37 AM

Hi Weiliang,

You would need to activate your BiocCredentials account and SSH keys to gain access to the package. https://git.bioconductor.org/BiocCredentials/account_activation/

The email listed on the BiocCredentials page is weiliang.qiu at gmail.com .

Best,

Nitesh

It looks like you tried to ask for help on the bioc-devel mailing list but it never went through.  I'm forwarding your email to another member on the team who is more versed with handling access issues.

Dear Lori,
I found I don't have write permission to GeneSelectMMD in Bioconductor github. Do you know how I can get the write permission so that I can git push the changes? Thanks!

Best regards,

Weiliang

Dear Sir/Madam,
The error message I got is slightly different from what I got previously. The previous error message is:
------------------------------
$ git push upstream master
FATAL: W any packages/GeneSelectMMD w.qiu DENIED by fallthru
(or you mis-spelled the reponame)
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
---------------------------------

Best Regards,

Weiliang

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am revising my Bioconductor package 'GeneSelectMMD' and would like to git push it to Bioconductor github.

I followed the instructions on https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/maintain-github-bioc/ and on https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/push-to-github-bioc/.

I successfully created github repository GeneSelectMMD and pushed my local changes to github repository. 

However, I got error message when I git push the changes to Bioconductor github.

The followings are some output for your reference:

---------------------------------
$ git remote -v
origin  git at github.com:weiliangqiu/GeneSelectMMD.git (fetch)
origin  git at github.com:weiliangqiu/GeneSelectMMD.git (push)
upstream        git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/GeneSelectMMD.git (fetch)
upstream        git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/GeneSelectMMD.git (push)

$ git push upstream master
Load key "/c/Users/kunling/.ssh/mySSHkey": invalid format
git at git.bioconductor.org: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
----------------------------------------------------------------

I then followed instruction on https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/faq/
and checked "ssh -T git at git.bioconductor.org" and found I only have read permission to GeneSelectMMD Bioconductor github.

I also check  BiocCredentials and found that I only have access to my another Bioconductor package 'iCheck' and don't have permission access to GeneSelectMMD. Please see the screen print below:

Could you advise me how to get write permission to GeneSelectMMD so that I can git push changes to Bioconductor github? Thanks!

By the way, is there a website where I can directly upload .tar.gz file of the revised GeneSelectMMD package? Thanks!

Best regards,

Weiliang
