Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #305899, revision 6 Title: Build Service Package Locking - Buildservice: Evaluation + Buildservice: Rejected by Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) + reject date: 2009-07-10 15:04:40 + reject reason: it blocks development for unknown timeframe, not wanted. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Description: * Lock a package * osc co -l checks out and locks * Anyone can unlock a package (to prevent deadlock) but it has to be explicit * https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor to show locks and lock owners Discussion: #1: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-07-10 14:13:48) What exactly should lock do? Prevent someone else from checkout ? I think we need better merging mechanism (e.g. replace source backend with git), not locking. + #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-07-10 15:01:37) (reply to #1) + How would git help here ? + #3: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-07-10 15:04:03) + lock is IMHO the wrong approach. People should submit often, so that + other people can follow and can build on top of their changes. No SCM + supports locking afaik for good reasons, the first (accepted) submitter + wins and others have to adapt. + So from my point of view, I do not want this feature at all, it hinders + more than it helps. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305899
