Feature changed by: Sascha Peilicke (saschpe) Feature #306381, revision 23 Title: Read Only mode for anonymous users in Web Client Buildservice: Duplicate of #306192 + Master status: Done Milestone: 2.0 Priority Requester: Important Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Project Manager: (Novell) Engineering Manager: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The OBS Web Client shall offer a read only mode for not logged in users. Goals: * The current projects and packages shall become browseable * Search engines shall be able to index our content * Our sources, including the patches should be accessable. * Log files shall be accessable for developers without login. What should not be accessable: Of course no write operations and everything which is causing too much load on our servers. The system must be still usable for packagers as higher goal. This means: * No build result downloads via api * No monitor pages due to the cause load ? Relations: - feature/duplicate: 306192 Discussion: #1: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-04-22 13:09:18) Andreas, do you think it is easier to write own read-only pages or to adapt the existing developer pages for a read-only mode ? #3: Andreas Bauer (abauer12345) (2009-04-22 14:16:08) (reply to #1) What do you mean by developer pages? #4: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-04-22 14:36:14) (reply to #3) Basically every existing page behind build.opensuse.org #12: Andreas Bauer (abauer12345) (2009-04-28 11:45:52) (reply to #4) I wouldn't put much effort into adapting the current web UI, instead focus on getting it right in the new UI. #2: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-04-22 13:34:07) I also request to make build logs available. We have a streaming architecture that should be able to handle the load. #5: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-04-22 14:36:36) (reply to #2) Log files are already mentioned in the feature description. #7: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-04-24 13:24:53) (reply to #5) I don't understand what is meant by banning 'build results'. Neither osc result nor osc rbl then? Good. #8: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-04-27 09:37:37) (reply to #7) The binary packages, like rpm, deb or iso files should not be downloadable without login via the API. #9: Michael Schröder (mlschroe) (2009-04-27 10:26:02) (reply to #8) Why's that? I can't think of any reason for this requirement. #10: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) (2009-04-27 10:39:20) (reply to #9) I do not want to see slashdot announcements for example with download URLs of our iso images for example, just because the publishing has been disabled by intention of the developer of the project. It would just kill us by bandwidth and would take away the decision when to release from the project owners. #11: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-04-27 11:04:23) (reply to #9) ( Possible compromise:If publishing is off, API asks for password, if publishing is on, API allows free download? ) I'd like to focus this feature on freely available sources, patches and build logs. Freely available binaries is a secondary issue. I am fine with Adrian's clarification. #6: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-04-24 13:17:25) URLs like https://api.opensuse.org/source/home:jnweiger/fat-gundel/fat-gundel.c should not come up with an extra API iChains popup. I believe everything under https://api.opensuse.org/source/ could be freely downloadable. #16: Juergen Weigert (jnweiger) (2009-10-29 14:41:29) (reply to #6) API also offers RPM packages and ISO images. API should always porivde a link to our download.o.o mirror infrastructure for these too. Most users no longer need to download RPMs and ISOs from API, if this link is available. #13: Stephan Binner (beineri) (2009-06-04 18:35:15) This sounds like a dupe of Fate#306192. #14: Stephen Kellat (skellat) (2009-06-14 23:27:23) (reply to #13) I would not necessarily regard this as a dupe. Fate#306192 wants to change the barriers to entry to read and write in OBS. This would, instead, allow people to dip a toe in the water to see but not change what is there before joining the group. #15: Stephan Binner (beineri) (2009-07-01 20:13:16) (reply to #14) Fate#306192 is for sure NOT about allowing anonymous users to write in OBS. + #17: Sascha Peilicke (saschpe) (2011-02-18 11:16:41) + Actually, I'm tempted to close this request, as the WebUI (as of now) + allows to browse almost everything withouth being logged in. + The API is a different beast though, there are still some areas that + need a login. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306381
