Some time ago I’ve started work on getting openvswitch.openvswitch collection working for recent Ansible versions (and generally picking up work on that ,abandoned’’ collection). Time has come to do a release - I’ve created a GitHub release but Galaxy did not import the new version (see [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/openvswitch/openvswitch/) and [Release OpenvSwitch Ansible collection release 2.2.0 · ansible-collections/openvswitch.openvswitch · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible-collections/openvswitch.openvswitch/releases/tag/2.2.0)). I don’t have any authority over the collection in Galaxy - what are the next steps I should do? ---

I believe that repository is missing the galaxy token for the namespace among secrets. So basically the question is - how are we getting the token to publish the new release to the galaxy?🙂 ---

Hi @mnasiadka @noonedeadpunk is correct, you’ll need the namespace token to be able to publish the collection to [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/openvswitch/openvswitch/). Are you the primary maintainer of this collection now, and is this your GitHub user? [mnasiadka (Michał Nasiadka) · GitHub](https://github.com/mnasiadka) EDIT: You’ll also need a GitHub Action Workflow to trigger the upload to Galaxy. ---

@dbrennand yes - me and @noonedeadpunk ([noonedeadpunk (Dmitriy Rabotyagov) · GitHub](https://github.com/noonedeadpunk)) are now primary maintainers of this collection ---

Yup, we are aware of the github action, and that is the easy part so to say 😃 ---

Hey @mnasiadka @noonedeadpunk I see from a previous thread about you two both being maintainers for this collection: [Unmaintained collection: openvswitch.openvswitch - #25 by noonedeadpunk](https://forum.ansible.com/t/unmaintained-collection-openvswitch-openvswitch/6245/25) I’ve added both your GitHub users with the needed permissions to the `openvswitch` namespace on Galaxy 🙂 This should unblock your release process. Also, whilst I was looking at the collection I noticed that the `CHANGELOG.rst` file is missing changelogs for `2.2.0`. ---

And also galaxy.yml contains wrong version for the tag, yeah… Thanks a lot for granting permissions! These issues will be addressed before the actual release:) ---

That’s great! Thanks @noonedeadpunk. Looking forward to hearing about the release 🙂 If this is resolve on your side, appreciate if you could mark this as resolved. ---
