oST_Projects » Staging project workflow

Currently, osc staging sets a lock on a user, which is fine (avoiding a 2nd user to mess up)

Consider this though (all done as one user)

• osc staging freeze A (this is a lengthy task, usually about 3 - 5 minutes)
• In the same time, the same user who has the lock opens a new term and issues osc staging list

The 2nd call is permitted (the lock is owned by the user, so accepted to continue). yet, once the 2nd call terminates, the lock is being removed, despite task 1 still being ative.

Two options:

• Either disallow the ame user from running two commands in parallel (we can live with that)
• Ensure that a 2nd command can't remove the first commands lock (adding a refcount?)
