- added 'osc bugowner' as a more intelligent version of 'osc maintai…
…ner -B' - added option '-B' to osc maintainer, prints bugowner OR maintainer. - added 'osc req help' as convenience alias to 'osc help req'. - 'osc in' to be done. Its usage just prints a suggested zypper command line. - Incompatible change: osc se now prints Project Package, instead of Package Project for easier copy&paste. - give better hint how to use osc vc without network connectivity. - added printing of cache statistices to osc build - implemented 'osc ls .' to take proj/pack name from current directory. * Incompatible change: 'osc ls' now defaults to 'osc ls .', * Use 'osc ls /' if you really want to list all projects. * This is meant as a proof of concept. I intend to generalize this usage of '.' for all osc commands. Feedback welcome.

||
This is a feature suggestion for easier osc commandline handling. | ||
Many commands require specifying Project and/or Package names. | ||
|
||
The current situation is not satisfying for the following reasons: | ||
- inconsistent defaults. Some osc subcommands can take project | ||
and/or package names from the current directory, if run inside a checkout | ||
tree. If both project and package can use this default or only one, and if | ||
one, which, depends on the command. Users have a hard time memorizing | ||
which is which. | ||
Examples as of osc version 0.123: | ||
osc maintainer PRJ [PKG] | ||
- does not look in the current directory. | ||
- need at least PRJ. | ||
osc list [PRJ [PKG]] | ||
- Never looks at the current directory. | ||
- lists all projects, if run without parameters. | ||
osc checkout [PRJ] PKG | ||
osc checkout PRJ | ||
- takes project from current directory, if inside a checkout tree | ||
- else operates on an entire project. | ||
osc checkin [ARG] | ||
- defaults to current project and package, | ||
- if arg is a subdirectory, project is taken from current directory | ||
- if arg is a file, both project and package are taken from current | ||
directory. | ||
osc results [PRJ PKG] | ||
- takes either both or none from current directory. | ||
- many commands do not look into the current directory, | ||
they are cumbersome to use. | ||
- sometimes PRJ/PKG can be used instead of PRJ PKG | ||
|
||
|
||
Suggested solution | ||
------------------ | ||
|
||
Instead of tuning (maybe optional) positional parameters. | ||
We suggest to deprecate this syntax over time and instead favour an alternate | ||
syntax: | ||
osc CMD ... [--prj PRJ] [--pkg PKG] ... | ||
osc CMD ... [--proj PRJ] [--pack PKG] ... | ||
osc CMD ... [--project PRJ] [--package PKG] ... | ||
|
||
These six options are new to osc, currently no existing command uses | ||
them. Thus the new syntax is conflict free wit the old syntax, both can be | ||
used in parallel. | ||
|
||
--prj, --proj, --project are synonyms. | ||
--pkg, --pack, --package are synonyms. | ||
|
||
osc shall support aliases, to save typing. Some implicit aliases exist, | ||
with well defined magic effects. Aliases substitution is literal. | ||
They can replace options including their parameters, or just the option, or | ||
just the parameters. | ||
- (a dash) expands to --prj openSUSE:Factory | ||
(or --prj followed by any other project as defined in | ||
~/.oscrc:default_project ) | ||
--prj - is synonymous to just -, for consistency. | ||
|
||
. (a dot) evaluates the current working directory, searching for | ||
.osc/_apiurl, .osc/_project, and .osc/_package | ||
Implicit --apiurl, --prj, or --pkg options are constructed as far | ||
as available from the current directory and as far as not already | ||
present in the command line. | ||
If a dot is used as parameter to an option, it has a more | ||
deterministic meaning. | ||
--apiurl . Substitute only the current apiurl, | ||
--prj . Substitute the current project name, and provides | ||
a default for --apiurl unless given. | ||
--pkg . Substitures current package name likewise. | ||
|
||
./. expands to --prj . --pkg . | ||
./PKG expands to --prj . --pkg PKG | ||
|
||
Unless otherwise noted in the online help, magic aliases are only attempted onceper commandline, and will only apply to their respective options. | ||
E.g. osc ci -m - will use a simple '-' as check in messages, and the absence of any project or package will default to the current project or package, just as | ||
osc ci . -m - would do. | ||
|
||
Additionally, user defined aliases can be added to ~/.oscrc | ||
If an alias expansion has effect on the command line, the expanded line is | ||
printed as debug output. | ||
|
||
online help of osc commands shall refer to the above syntax like this: | ||
|
||
osc CMD ... PROJ/PACK | ||
|
||
An additional help entry | ||
|
||
osc help 'PROJ/PACK' | ||
|
||
shall explain the relevant details as presented herein. |
