Walter (or someone else with the appropriate permissions), would you please add a repo to deimos for flac?

I don't know what permissions I'm supposed to have for deimos (I think that I get informed of pull requests periodically, so I probably have commit access in at least some cases), but I can't create repos in it. And I don't know if I'll be able to create any branches in the new repo. If I have commit access to it, then I'll gladly take care of the branches. Otherwise, I'll need someone to create branches for 1.2.1 and 1.3.0.

Thanks.

The entire Deimos system would be served better by a simple page on the Wiki, not shoehorning it into a Github organization. The current procedure is outright ridiculous. Walter has *nothing* to do with these projects and a Wiki page is much more customizable than a Github organization (which is not saying anything bad about Github organizations; just that Deimos is gross misuse of them).

I know a lot of people share this opinion but I haven't seen it on the NG, so here it is.

Well, then do a write up of how you think it should work and present it in the newsgroup, and then we can discuss it.

Walter, would you please create a 1.2.1 branch? I can't create a pull request with the 1.3.0 stuff until there's branch for 1.2.1, or 1.2.1 won't be particularly usable, and 1.3.0 is recent enough that 1.2.1 is still quite prevalent (probably more than 1.3.0).

You're a Team Deimos member, you should be able to do it.

Whenever I try and commit to the main repository, it tells me I don't have permission. Specfically, I get

------
ERROR: Permission to D-Programming-Deimos/flac.git denied to jmdavis. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
------

I know that with the D-Programming-Language organization, permissions must still be given out for each repo (e.g. I don't have commit access to dmd), so I'd guess that it's the same with D-Programming-Deimos unless there's some way to automatically give the team members commit permissions to all repos in the org. But I don't know exactly what kind of control there is over the permissions in a github organization, because I don't have the permissions to manage any of the orgs that I'm in.

You do have push/pull permissions to all Deimos repositories. I think that means you need to submit your changes as a pull request, not do it directly.
