Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308842, revision 1 Title: rcs: meta data ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Currently there is a load of meta-data that is not revision controlled. This can cause serious problems - eg. with a tweak to a 'prjconf' (some of which get quite big) - it is possible to have an irreperably broken project - (without scarce expert help). AFAIK there is no way to retrieve old meta-data at all, or see who changed it, or what happened. This applies to package metadata, and particularly the prjconf meta-data. In Moblin we would tend to extract this to a sub-directory and commit it (inside an Image) or somesuch - but it doesn't scale. To have such a key piece of data [ we have spent hours fiddling with prjconfs eg. ] without any revision tracking is highly unfortunate. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Save people time, don't loose critical data. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308842
