Only have a "showmeta" and a "editmeta" subcommand, which take their own subcommand specifying what kind of metadata to work on:

showmeta user showmeta prj showmeta prjconf showmeta pac

editmeta user editmeta prj editmeta prjconf editmeta pac [--fromspec]

I like this one, but there are a couple of ways to reduce typing: - Remove meta from the commands: show user|prj|prjconf|pac edit user|prj|prjconf|pac - Also have short forms: showmeta|sm user|prj|prjconf|pac editmeta|em user|prj|prjconf|pac -- James Oakley jfunk@funktronics.ca --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

while looking at adding support for editing project configuration, I thought that I'd like to organize osc subcommands that show or change metadata in a more consistent way.

I now implemented the new meta command, replacing editmeta, editprj, createprj, editpac, createpac, edituser. Do people think that I should add the old command names (like createpac or editprj) as 'aliasses', so they people can continue to use them? Or should I just ditch them? And another question. So far, the commands for editing metadata have automatically created a resource, when trying to edit one that doesn't exist. Is that the wanted default behaviour, or should it require a "--create" switch? The current default behaviour has led to the accidental creation of projects and packages, when a user mistyped a name of something he/she wanted to edit only. Thanks for your input. Here is the usage of the new meta command: """ % osc help meta meta: Show meta information, or edit it Show or edit build service metadata of type . This command displays metadata on buildservice objects like projects, packages, or users. The type of metadata is specified by the word after "meta", like e.g. "meta prj". With the --edit switch, the metadata can be edited. Per default, osc opens the program specified by the environmental variable EDITOR with a temporary file. Alternatively, content to be saved can be supplied via the --file switch. The --create switch is subject to discussion and not implemented. usage: osc meta [-e|--edit [-f|--file] [-c|--create]] ARGS... options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -F FILE, --file=FILE read metadata from FILE, instead of opening an editor. '-' denotes standard input. -e, --edit edit metadata """ Peter -- "WARNING: This bug is visible to non-employees. Please be respectful!" SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
