[Bioc-devel] Permission denied when fetching from BioC GitHub repository

Dear all,

I?m trying to push a bug fix for wavClusteR to the BioC GitHub repository. I currently pushed the latest package version to the devel and master branch of my GitHub repository (https://github.com/FedericoComoglio/wavClusteR <https://github.com/FedericoComoglio/wavClusteR>).

To sync these changes with the bioC GitHub repository, I have followed the documentation at https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/ <https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/> . However, even though I added an upstream remote to my repository and added a public key as described, when I fetch updates from all (see https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/sync-existing-repositories/ <https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/sync-existing-repositories/>) I get

| => git fetch --all
Fetching origin
Fetching upstream
git at git.bioconductor.org <mailto: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.
error: Could not fetch upstream

Could you please help me with this issue?

Thanks a lot for your time and patience.

Best wishes,
Federico

Hi Valerie,

the ssh key has now been setup and it works. I had some issues with merging but at the end I decided to force BioC master to GitHub master (following https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/abandon-changes/#force-bioconductor--to-github- <https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/abandon-changes/#force-bioconductor--to-github->). Afterwards, I pushed the bug fix to both origin and upstream remotes (master branch). Indeed:

| => git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'upstream/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

However, shouldn?t wavClusteR be listed at https://github.com/Bioconductor <https://github.com/Bioconductor> at this point?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Best wishes,

Federico

Hi 

Only packages maintained by Bioconductor are at that location gitHub.com/Bioconductor.  Your package is not maintained by the core-team in Bioconductor, so, it does not belong in that location.

We follow the same process as all the maintainers, we have a Github repo to take advantage of the social coding practices, and the canonical Bioconductor git server which acts as the central server for bioconductor packages.

I hope this answers your question.

Best,

Nitesh
