Title: allow hierarchical paths in OBS
Buildservice: Unconfirmed
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Christopher Yeleighton (yecril71pl)
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
The current access method in OBS is to specify the package and the project as query parameters. It is our desire to be able to access OBS packages using hierarchical URL instead.
Test Case:
https://build.opensuse.org/packages/network/psi+/ > should refer to the same resource as https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=psi%2b&project=network >.
Use Case:
The operator is in a package window and she wishes to go up to the project by using a relative anchor '..' (a chrome command not embedded in the page).
Business case (Partner benefit):
openSUSE.org: The character â+â, which can be a part of a package name, must be encoded in query strings. Operators of OBS are not expected to know that. If they fail to encode it in a publication, the link will be broken. Moreover, since the structure of the build service is hierarchical, it is obvious that a hierarchical URL structure corresponds best to the logical structure of the site.
