I just checked the Factory status page in OBS https://build.opensuse.org/stage/project/status?project=openSUSE%3AFactory& filter_devel=All+Packages&ignore_pending=true&limit_to_fails=false&include_ versions=false&include_versions=true&commit=Filter+results
And I found it a bit strange to find so many "different changes in devel project". Also for contributions I made to some devel project where I'm not the maintainer and cannot forward to Factory myself :-(
AFAIK patchlevel and bugfixes are still allowed in current Factory so could I ask project maintainers to run through their devel projects and submit what should be submitted?
It's really sad how often I have to act as fallback pusher - for most the devel project seems to be enough to make them happy ;(
Tbh not all the devel projects have a team with one or more
people who feed responsible for taking care of pushing stuff to
factory. GNOME and KDE are poster child (OBS) projects for that,
but they don't represent the most common use case.
I maintain quite a few packages e.g. in network:utilities, or
utilities, or a good (few) dozen of other projects.
I don't even know what is a devel project and where factory is
pulling things from.
The whole "devel project" thing is still a bit obscure to those
who don't use it every day :\
(of course, that might be just me being too stupid to grasp it)
Yes, we mostly have a "pull" model right now... Maybe a bit more
explanations about the current workflow (of Coolo and whoever
assists him with that, although I'm afraid that it's pretty much
just Coolo having all the work on his hands) of how packages are
getting pulled into Factory. And maybe we'll manage to switch to
a "push" model instead :)
