[New: openFATE 308843] rcs: project-wide diffing ...
Feature added by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Feature #308843, revision 1 Title: rcs: project-wide diffing ... Buildservice: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Meeks (michael_meeks) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Often, it is the case (with many people working inside a project), that we go from a working state, to a broken state. However - it is not known what exactly changed. With staff in different timezones, intermittently available etc. it is simply not possible to ask them all - and latency is a killer. At the present time, it is simply not possible to easily answer the question "what changed between Then and Now". We loose revision history all over the place - if it is even recorded: (it is not for prjconf eg.). But being able to do a "full project" diff of even what we have is highly non-easy: and would typically be some excessive shell command [ which is unlikely to tell you if packages have appeared or disappeared etc. ]. Having an easy way to do this sort of diff would be rather helpful. Preferably achieved by putting each project in a git repository :-) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: We can't reliably tell what changed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308843
