[Bioc-devel] Transition from Google Sheet to Web App

[Obenchain, Valerie]

Hi Lluis,

We (or at least I) had not considered linking the profile in the credentials app with the profile in the Support Site and currently they are not aware of each other. The email in DESCRIPTION was used to get some emails for the credentials app but it is not the case that an email change in the app will propagate to DESCRIPTION.

We do require package maintainers to be registered on the Support Site in order to submit a package but I'm not sure if this email is checked against the DESCRIPTION.

I see what you mean by having this information in 3 places, DESCRIPTION file, credentials app and Support Site. I think the 'if' and 'how' of connecting these pieces needs some thought. I'll discuss with the group at our next meeting and will follow up here.

Thanks for bringing this up.

Valerie

Hi all,

I have a couple of doubts related to the new app.

I've seen that one can update mail, and github id, and add new keys (Nice!). However I couldn't find if this account will be somehow linked to the user profile in the support site. Are there any plans in this direction?
At the moment the email of the maintainer of a package should be registered in the support site, which is the same one used for the app. When someone updates the email in the app is it updated in other sites of Bioconductor? Will the email of the Description files of the packages  and the account in the support site be updated?

Many thanks,

Llu�s

The Web App for managing SSH keys is now available at

  https://git.bioconductor.org/BiocCredentials/

Accounts have been created for all package maintainers. Note the central identifier, i.e., how you login is your email. This email was taken from the DESCRIPTION of your package or the Google Sheet if you registered a key there.

When you first visit the App you'll need to activate your account. An activation link will be sent to your email. Once your account is activated you can login. Trying to login without activation will lead to an error.

Let us know if you have any questions or problems.

Hi developers,

Tomorrow we are bringing a web app online to help with the management of SSH keys. The app will replace the Google Sheet currently used to add keys. Through the web interface you'll be able to add keys and change your email or github username. There is also an option to see what packages you have access to.

Using the app is not a requirement. It's intended to help package authors get setup with keys and access to their package in the Bioconductor git repository. Those of you already set up with keys and access may never need to use it.

Tomorrow, April 18, we'll have downtime from 9-11am EST while we take down the Google Sheet and bring up the app.

Thanks.

Valerie and Nitesh
