Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #324962, revision 1 Title: allow to lock requests Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: in order to avoid developers messing up the state of an almost ready staging project, it would be good to have some kind of lock command so the state of certain requests cannot be modified by anyone except for a specific user/group anymore. Needed especially for * delete requests, as they are handled in a very special way * superseding requests. if a developer supersedes another request, release enginering can't do anything about it anymore Is also of particulare interest for SLE with strict deadlines, more elaborate human reviews that take time and yast auto submits by a CI. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324962

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #324894, revision 1 Title: additional rebuild strategies Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Following up on https://github.com/openSUSE/osc-plugin-factory/issues/925 and https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/3552 Both issues ask for additional rebuild strategies that Factory nowadays implements externally as scripts. That is * only trigger specific packages if dependencies change * trigger packages that are uninstallable -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324894

[New: openFATE 322072] support multiple back references in issue_trackers

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #322072, revision 1 Title: support multiple back references in issue_trackers Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Someone thought it's a good idea to refer to github issues as gh#project/repo#number according to the packaging guidelines: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines#Current_set_o… OBS however only supports one capture group in the parser. It needs to support multiple and allow to place them arbitrarily in the output. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/322072

[New: openFATE 324893] create new role that allows to trigger rebuilds

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #324893, revision 1 Title: create new role that allows to trigger rebuilds Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Following up on https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/2094 OBS all too often needs somebody who can manually trigger rebuilds. For example random failures caused by either the packate itself (eg testsuite are quite often broken) or by obs workers timing out etc. That role should not necessarily have full access to modify packages or review requests. Therefore separate from maintainer and reviewer. Examples where this would be useful are the distro projects, staging and ports. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324893

[New: openFATE 324892] provide project wide _service file mode override
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #324892, revision 1 Title: provide project wide _service file mode override Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Following up on https://github.com/openSUSE/open-build-service/issues/2110 Factory packages require mode=disabled in _service files. For convenience however it would be good to have packages in the devel project be auto updated from e.g. github or use server side downloading of sources. To avoid having to maintain a separate copy with mode=disabled OBS should provide a project wide override that just disables all services. Submit requests to a project with disabled service runs would need to run the services on server side and submit a specific source state. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/324892

[New: openFATE 310680] Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes

Feature added by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Feature #310680, revision 1 Title: Make Icon Theme installer only show .tar.gz themes openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: 6tr6tr 6tr6tr (6tr6tr) Description: I recently tried installing new icon themes into openSUSE 11.3 via the Configure Desktop app. It showed a lot of themes with an "install" button, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. It turns out, that's because it only installs .tar.gz files and a number of the themes listed are in other formats. So the "Get New Themes..." popup should only show files it can actually install. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310680

[openFate 305144] [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool

Feature added by: Arvin Schnell <aschnell(a)novell.com> Feature #305144, revision 1, last change by Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Alexey Eremenko <al4321(a)gmail.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Hi All ! I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool. This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog. It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people. Great, isn't it ? P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov", 29.jul.2008.
