While trying to register a new version of my package LaurentPolynomials,
I got an unexpected message.
After the usual

I got

The problem is that the package is supposed to be merged after 20mn. It is now 2 hours and it is still not merged. This probably because it shows prominently in red âmerging is blockedâ.
The issue is that the consistency CI check never finished, likely due to the github actions outage I mentioned. I canât merge it either (even though I have commit permissions) since the required check isnât there.
I clicked âupdate branchâ to retrigger CI, hopefully it goes through. But until github actions is functional again, we canât do very much.
As @nilshg pointed out, this is totally unrelated. It is just saying you donât have permission to click merge. Authorized users, like the registrator bot, do have permission, but there is a separate issue (github actions outage) preventing that.
