Feature changed by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Feature #308615, revision 5 Title: Submit requests from "osc co" Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: It should be possible that I can submit requests from projects/packages that I have checkout (not branch) and I do not have permissions for commit. Use Case: 1) osc co KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop kdegames4 2) change something 3) "osc ci" or "osc sr" creates a submit request for projects/packages I do not have permissions 4) Further workflow as it would be with "osc sr" through "osc branch" Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: You can easily update the checkout projects/packages via "osc up" and you do not have to branch them extra for submitting requests... Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-01 20:49:25) What keeps you from branching? #2: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) (2010-01-01 22:15:44) I have a complete checkout from above project. I want to change 2 lines in one file and have to branch 70,122,511 bytes and download it again (currently related to above example)... If I read "osc help branch" right there is not a option similiar to "osc up" if other people changed something in linked source. The only thing I can see is "osc branch -c" but it is "Checkout branched package afterwards" and not "Update to latest source from linked project/package" So I have to branch it again if I want to use latest code from linked source -> Download again ~70 MiB... + #3: Johannes Obermayr (jobermayr) (2010-01-02 23:45:09) + I branched "soprano" from Factory for submitting a request and saw a + thing I do not want to see: + After branching a build was triggered promptly (wasting ressources). + So you can see "osc branch" is not the best solution... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308615
