Hi,
I'd have thought that Factory submissions are going through OBS and through the respective development project set for the package?
We (or better the osc tool) do route changes by default to the development project yes. But we do not forbid submissions bypassing this. This is not the recommended way, but may be necessary in some cases (see below). However, in the end you should get these changes automatically when you use source links. Yes, concflicts can appear and need get merged manually like with cvs, svn and friends as well.
Once again that wasn't the case for two packages mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss where new packages were already waiting in the mozilla:Factory project for inclusion in Factory.
Sorry, that happens far too often for me and I certainly won't always merge back the stuff to the package in the development project.
Can someone official please enlighten me if it's ok to destroy other's work by bypassing the normal procedures?
Yes, I'm really annoyed by that happening all the time.
I have not checked what kind of submissions these are in your case. I heard that Rudi needed to fix several hundred packages (all with the same fix) to get Factory building again after an incompatible change in a base package. This is a situation where we do not want to ask and wait for feedback from each maintainer, because we need Factory working ASAP. If there are other contributions, which could have submitted to your project, please ask the people direct to do this in future. Yes, we have the general policy that people should use the development project. But in the end it is just a recommendation, because the way how people develop their packages differs a lot (this is partly caused also by the upstream project). So, please try to find a solution with the people. CC me if you want feedback (or give feedback to OBS) during this. thanks a lot for your work adrian and happy new year :)
