I don't have a problem with that. But only if there is a way to convert from _service to non-_service at the Factory gate. Or is it what will be done when "ban" is forced?
The packages are much easier to update when _service file is used.
Why is it easier? Perhaps I'm seeing the use case differently.
Because one needs to change a single line to update a package from one version to another. Maybe BS can handle URLs from SOURCE line (I'm not sure about this) which would offer the same functionality. However it for example doesn't recompress the tar from big gz's to much smaller bz2's. And there are still people with low bandwidth like me where "osc co" size matters (e.g. llvm is packaged only by gzip -- llvm-gcc .gz ~ 52M, .bz2 ~ 39M). tar_scm is another time-saver. There are perpetual-beta projects with no releases at all (psi+ comes on my mind). The development occurs in a repository and one doesn't need to do snapshots manually or find time stamps of the last prepared snapshot. One "osc service remoterun" does that all. Really, isn't the obs/osc fixable to handle the _service files properly? I cannot tell, since I don't know what exact problems there are in Factory. I'm not fighting them every day.
