Hi, guys, You are diving too deep that I can't quite follow even by reading the whole thread... I just need some clearance: Will this be (possibly) a RFC that appears on wiki and limits all packagers? Or you were just talking about OBS coding/automatic packaging eg tar_scm backend (if so, I was wrong, I think you were talking about giving a name by hand) so that I can just skip the whole thread and go to sleep (not ironic, it's 03:06am in China and I just wake up from deep sleep :D) Because I see you talked too much about the inner mechinism of svn/git... If it's a RFC, do our packagers need attending a codeschool tutorial before fetching from svn/git? You know, many of us just learned `svn co` and `git clone`... And I see you talked the importance of "hashes", now I know by using it everything else is not needed. But version number will be shown to all instead of just us...to most of the people (including me unluckily), hashes is just a random string at the very first glance. Or we just want users get the idea "wow it's from svn/git. wow it's a dev version" and leave the math for zypper to calculate which version is newer? If so, everything is fine...we can even add upstream code name to the version scheme :P Marguerite -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
