Feature changed by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) Feature #308268, revision 3 Title: Allow to easy check what sources was unmodified -show cheksum and url of tarball Buildservice: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Alex Savin (alexqwesa) Description: Allow to easy check what source tarball was not modified: 1) add field for url to official project download page (url where packager got source) 2) show checksum for tarball generated by Buildservice Often source tarball already have checksum (in project download page or in VCS(version control systems), and all what needed to check is sources modified: 1) see checksum in Buildservice 2) see checksum in official project download page, or in VCS, or etc... 3) just compare it)) This is important, because some people want to use additional software (for example: from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ repos), but don't trust these packagers Discussion: #1: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2010-01-22 10:06:44) In fact this feature should means that Build Service will be able to download the upstream tarball automatically. But in a real world, there are many cases we need to distribute a modified tarball, so it also needs to 1) Repack the tarball to tar.bz2 2) Remove files from it (mainly from legal reasons) - there'd be a list of files needs to be removed from a tarball + #2: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2010-01-22 10:08:48) (reply to #1) + Oh and I forgot - in this mode, BuildService needs to warn if the URL + changes a lot (for instance a hostname). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308268
