How are multiple mergereq's for the same package handled? (Maybe we should try to apply all the rdiffs?).
There is no plan for that. As far as I see, a second request could be a) a new one from a previous submitter, or b) from someone else, and another source package.
In a), the first request is probably obsoleted by the second one (if it comes from the same source). Thus, it would be good from my perspective of a packager to attach a "obsoletes XY" note. Or I could probably go ahead and delete the request that I created earlier.
In b), the request recipient will probably choose one of the two requests, or try to apply them subsequently.
In any case, the first submit could conflict with the other one. So it is IMHO always better to accept them one after one to see, if it does still apply.
As far as I understand the current draft of how the "apply" step is going to be implemented, it _always_ applies. Because it is going to be a simple copy, overwriting what's there, and not a diff which is applied.
That is not the point, the point is that you may not WANT to merge the second one, because it may not apply anymore. It is better that the upstream project does fix it again instead of merge it also and have broken sources in the target project. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
