Feature changed by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #308489, revision 9 Title: Source Code Distribution Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Make it easy to download source packages of milestone and final releases, e.g. with a specific web page with input of package name and release version. Btw. we should also document in the wiki properly how we distribute source code for milestone and final releases - and how for build service packages. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Source code availability is a requirement of the various Open Source licenses, this feature will help us to do this properly and in a documented way. Discussion: #1: Robert Davies (robopensuse) (2009-12-07 21:07:03) I wrote Bug up on request Bug 560868 - Enabling Source repo - has not made src rpm available (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560868) arising out of this discussion on project list, started by an inquiry about availability of source ISO [opensuse-project] opensuse source? (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-project/2009-12/msg00009.html) #2: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-12-08 07:57:34) I would like to see this embedded into a more general approach. We store the information where a package was built inside the rpm in the disturl. This tells us the OBS instance, the project, the repository and the exact source revision. The following features are possible via this: * Offer a webinterface to get you to exactly this source. * Integrate this into the distribution, in old times I would have added this to krpmview. Just one button to press and it goes to the right place. YaST is of course also an action. Or a small handler, which can handle the obs:// URLs in any browser. As coolo suggested, a tag mechanism would be nice to mark and find for example the Milestone X package. I want see this mechanism of course also as generic as possible ;) Btw, we do not need a seperate web instance for this IMHO. Just let this integrate into the interface of build.o.o and make this part also available without login. Further features around this comming to my mind are * webdav interface for pointing to past sources * on fly packaging, like tar.gz to allow one step download of all files of a package. #3: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-02-19 10:59:39) Currently driven by openSUSE Booster team. + #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2010-05-19 15:19:55) + Parts of this feature is done with the anonymous webui access. + Parts like accessing via obs:// url depends on support to show former + versions of sources in webui. Therefore I move this to 2.5 in the hope + that we can the webui here. To be discussed with booster team. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308489
