For a while, we've had the issue of packages with changes in devel projects not always being submitted to Factory. At the last openSUSE Conference, it appeared that not everyone was aware that this had to be manually done, and one solution that was discussed involved automatic submission.
After some push from coolo, I finished a script I started working on a while ago, and we now have obs-autosubmit: https://gitorious.org/opensuse/obs-autosubmit
To put it simply, it submits unsubmitted changes to Factory. It tries hard to be clever, [...] Things that are clever usually fail horribly sometimes.
For years we have learned that not everything qualifies for Factory. Some of the packages I felt important were rejected with something like 'They make Factory too big'. This does not mix well with the idea that devel maintainers should be responsible for filling up Factory. On the other hand, there are devel projects, where stuff is horribly broken, if you look at the wrong point of time. E.g. making a major update, that affects many individual packages. I am in favour of an automated script searching for submission candidates. But rather than directly submitting, tell the devel maintainers, that Factory wants one of their Packages, and provide a copy-paste submit request template. That could be a submit request to Factory where the devel maintainers group is added as Reviewers, cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 say #263A!__/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, J.Guild, F.Imendoerffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg), Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany SuSE.
