Does Mr. MeeseeksDev like pandas?

[TomAugspurger]

If so, would he mind handling backports for us? :)

The pandas-people to add would be

• jreback
• jorisvandenbossche
• gfyoung
• TomAugspurger

Any other info you need? Our backports branches are named as 0.20.x for the backports that should go from master to 0.20.1, 0.20.2, etc.

Thanks!

Sure thing, done in 2c9b01c

You can edit your milestones descriptions like matplotlib does to include a on-merge: backport to 0.20.x then head there and enable the integration. The bot may need a restart after that; and yes I know I should ask for less permission, I still need to go through GitHub API docs and lower the permissions I request.

I can also give you access to the heroku instance to see error logs if you desire.

[Carreau]

Did you had any chance to try ?

I've limited the permissions required quite a bit since you opened this issue.

[TomAugspurger]

Oh, sorry no. @jreback, I think you'll need to authorize it at https://github.com/integration/meeseeksdev/ since you're the admin. This should make backporting a bit easier.

No problem, just wanted to know if its working or not for you and if you need changes. I just got asked for another question and while I was taking care of it, wanted to check.

[Carreau]

I've lifted the restriction on whitelisted users, but still have an org whitelist.

So you should not need me if you want to activate it.

cc'ing @stefanv who showed interest enabling the bot on scikit-image as well

Oweee !!! Happy to serve more people

I've now implemented (in beta) the ability to backport without requiring push permissions. See #28

I'll switch the default mechanism after some testing, and then remove the request for push access.

[TomAugspurger]

Working now. Thanks!

[Carreau]

I've switched the default backport to a new version that should not ask for commit rights. Let me know if there is any issues. You can use legacy_backport if the new backport fails. Ping me if something's wrong.

If the new backport mechanism works, I'll retire the old one and decrease necessary permissions.
