Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308802, revision 12 Title: History for project and package _meta file changes. - Buildservice: Evaluation + Buildservice: Done Priority Requester: Desirable Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) Requested by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Developer: (Novell) Description: Changing of a maintainer is completely silent - there is no tracking of changes and no reminder about it (and no possibility of them). When some project maintainer uses a script to mass change something and it has a bug, then we can simply lose the information (the real life example should be in ). So BS as a non reliable source of maintainerhip information. There should be a tracking of changes and notifications about it. In general all metadata changes should be tracked and changes would be notified. Discussion: #1: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2010-01-18 09:27:32) The base problem is that we may not lose the internal Novell responsilbe person for maintained packages. So this feature is very close with the FATE#308774 (Ensure that each L3-supported package has a single Novell bugowner) and also FATE#308793 (Versioned History for Roles and Attributes). #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-01-21 12:29:07) this are acutually two features: * notification via hermes on maintainer change * history for project an package meta data. I choice option two for this feature ;) #3: Dirk Mueller (dirkmueller) (2010-01-21 16:48:51) (reply to #2) I added 308868 for the notification part #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-19 11:01:18) (reply to #2) Marked as important for next (2.0) release. + #5: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-05-21 21:54:25) + We have now a history for meta data in the backend. Access via api is + possible, also checkout of old version via osc. We may still need to + improve the history logging. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308802
