The most obvious usecase are packages in Factory that are developed in specialists projects and only on certain points of time synced into Factory. We were struggling about the name of the field in the package meta data. Suggestions were MaintainedIn, Origin and others. I like to propose here as a final name DevelProject. I think that reflects pretty much what it really is - the project where the package is actually developed. It avoids the foo_In _ problem as well as the term Maintained which misleads to the software maintenance. I assume everbody can ACK on this.

Like this? % osc meta pkg server:mail exim ... ... % osc meta pkg openSUSE:Factory exim ... ... I'm not convinced of develproject then, I'd rather call it origproject. Or rootproject. "devel" can mean different things also. But if you think the name is better, it won't matter so much, nothing that should stop us. And I have one concern: don't we need a reference to project as well as package? If we refer only to a project, the package name would need to be identical, no?

It refers to a practice how the tag is or could be used, not the technical meaning, and it's a term with a pretty broad meaning. So I'm still in favor of "Origin" or "OriginProject" as Peter suggested. -- Cornelius Schumacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help(a)opensuse.org --===============7063481484964553226==--
