Example scenario: - configure 'submitrequest_on_accept_action = update' in ~/.oscrc (BTW I can't find documentation for this option anywhere except for comments in the config file template. Once you delete them, the only way of retrieving them is to read the source :-/ ) - osc bco $prj $pkg - hack on home:$me:$prj/$pkg, test, hack, test etc. - commit to home:$me:$prj/$pkg - submitrequest to $prj/$pkg - submitrequest gets accepted - wait a couple of months for $prj/$pkg to get updated by other people At this point, I have numerous questions: 1. What is the state of home:$me:$prj/$pkg server-side? 2. Does it automatically contain all the latest changes from the upstream $prj/$pkg? i.e. if I do 'osc up' on my working copy, will I get them? 3. If so, why? - how does this work? 4. If not, presumably there is some equivalent of 'osc pull' which applies to branches rather than linkpac'd packages? 5. How would I cherry-pick some but not all of the upstream changes into my branch? 6. Is any of this workflow documented anywhere? http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration would be the obvious place for it, but it's not there yet. So, trying to reverse-engineer this, I see that my working copy of home:aspiers:branches:openSUSE:Tools/obs-service-tar_scm contains the following line in .osc/_files: <linkinfo baserev="663c096f8c0695af0960d98d6ed7b435" lsrcmd5="b01017819c52ddd0eabd72fd7d5d3c64" package="obs-service-tar_scm" project="openSUSE:Tools" srcmd5="ffd170170ba0a40a0db1015702ccdee5" /> and also 'osc log' shows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- r9 | buildservice-autocommit | 2012-07-27 13:35:33 | b01017819c52ddd0eabd72fd7d5d3c64 | unknown | rq129093 baserev update by copy to link target Looking in my working copy of openSUSE:Tools/obs-service-tar_scm, I see that .osc/_files contains: <directory name="obs-service-tar_scm" rev="ffd170170ba0a40a0db1015702ccdee5" srcmd5="ffd170170ba0a40a0db1015702ccdee5"> So 'lsrcmd5' in the branch points to the baserev update autocommit, and 'srcmd5' points to the directory revision of the upstream project. But I'm still not really any wiser - what does baserev point to, how is it used? Thanks!
