Hi,
as a part of our Google Summer of Code Project to cleanup osc [1] our first task was to define a new commandline user interface for osc. The current user interface is quite "inconsistent" (with regard to the expected arguments for different commands) and has some other "flaws".
In short, great new proposal, I have not many remarks yet, but I will think about it :) Just one idea of mine, I would like to integrate requests more smoothly into osc and also webui. For me this means work as usual as long as possible and if it does not work due to lack of permissions, the client should ask for creating a request instead. For example osc delete $PROJECT deletes the project. If it can't be done, osc should ask the user to create a request instead. One may also offer a standard parameter to enforce the request creation (because you may want that others check this). This could be done via osc delete --request $PROJECT This may be a replacement for the "osc request create" command to some degree (multiple actions per request would not work with that). As a consequence we would need to add commands for all request types in the api (which is not the case for "submit" for example. I see people with write permissions in the target creating requests just for convenience. However, not a good idea, because it sends out unwanted notifications). That "submit" command is something I want to do after 2.3 ASAP in any case. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
