Hi,
the openSUSE booster teams has started to improve the
http://software.opensuse.org/search
interface. One important thing is to improve the search results. It is important from our POV that the project owner can classify the purpose of his project.
This is currently suggested in this fate request :
https://features.opensuse.org/306232
as
STABLE -- project is considered to be ready to use for End-Users TESTING -- project should work from point of developer view, but needs verification DEVELOPMENT -- project is random state, it might work. BROKEN -- project is known to be not working atm.
The default value would be "DEVELOPMENT", which is also used when someone creates a new branch of a package by default.
by default the software search would just show "STABLE" projects in their results. If no result can be found, the search will offer to search also for the unstable versions.
Project owners can set this state in their project at any time.
I would like to hear some feedback about the suggested states. Are they understandable and do they make sense ?
Sounds reasonable to me and I like the idea. I'm just wondering how to handle home:<login> projects. They might "win" against an official devel project in state DEVELOPMENT since they have been classified as STABLE at some point, but are meanwhile in a complete broken state ...
Yes, but a handle for complete unmaintained projects need to be supported differently. This mechanism only gives the active developers a chance to flag their projects.
Ok. I didn't know that home projects were intended to be handled differently anyway. Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
