Issue with access to some of my ansible roles at galaxy-ng [need help from admin/support]

Hello everyone.

I have been using Ansible enthusiastically for years and am a great friend of open-source and therefore also try to publish my Ansible code.

However, since the launch of galaxy-ng I still have unsolved problems when publishing my Ansible roles and need help. I will be at CfgMgmntCamp and we can discuss this IRL.

Since I was asked to make a forum post about my problems, I’ll do that now…

My Github User is DO1JLR. I publish most of my ansible roles and collections at github.com/roles-ansible/.

At galaxy-ng I should own these namespaces:

I am unable to opt-out of ansible-lightspeed at the ansible-archive and roles-ansible namespace. (Error 400 - : The server was unable to complete your request.)

I am unable to delete or archive any ansible role I ever published at any namespace.

I am unable to publish any role to any namespace except the roles-ansible. The ansible role I tried are all in the github.com/roles-ansible/ Github organisation.

What do I want?

I want to delete or mark all ansible roles as old/archived in all namespaces except the l3d namespace. And I want to publish all my ansible roles from the roles-ansible github organisation to the l3d namespace, but I am unable to do so.

Instead I can publish my ansible roles from the roles-ansible github organisation to the roles-ansible role namespace.


And ansible collections?
For ansible collections this is working, see Collection Namespace L3D.
That’s why I am thinking about archiving all my ansible roles and only publish ansible collections. But since I am unable to archive/delete my own ansible roles, thats not such a good idea either :disappointed_relieved:


I am looking forward speaking with one of you guys at CfgMgmntCamp. Maybe we can figure out a soluting when we see us in real life. :wave:

@L3D Thanks for all the details.
Someone will get back to you in the next few days

@PartnerEngTeam Can you please look at the Galaxy issue that @L3D is reporting, Thanks

Clearly something changed.

I tried to import a new ansible role and it appeared in the l3d namespace at l3d.cwtv_telegram_jitsi_bot.

I also noticed, my github action stoped working:

See code:
