oST_Projects » Staging project workflow

The TEST-DVD xml is generated from Factory packages - post-integration. This means for every staging change we expect the submitter/factory-maintainer to adopt the package list if needed. As this package list is auto generated, it's asked a bit much.

So we need to download the rpm (headers) for the staging prj and calculate the package list and commit back the package list. The calculation involves some libsolv magic, currently the package-lists repo is handling that: https://gitorious.org/opensuse/package-lists/source/master using libzypp test case.

The downloading of rpm headers is not possible at the moment, but extending the OBS backend to allow that is a subtask useful for optimizing. The main precondition is caching, caching, caching ;)
