The Copr is owned by rafaelmartins, there's no concept of organizations. I believe that an user could request publish access here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rafaelmartins/blogc/permissions/ +- Prepare and submit [termux-packages](https://github.com/termux/termux-packages) pull request. + - Edit `packages/blogc/build.sh`.

Usually just moving the ebuild and commiting is enough. rafaelmartins can push directly, someone else could need to submit patch or open pull request. + + +## Celebrate + + \o/ |
