Description Michael Scherer 2011-03-20 12:20:15 UTC 
While testing the buildservice with one of my rpm, I uploaded a src.rpm as a file with the web interface, and tried to compile it. It didn't work. I think BuildService web interface could be smarter and either :
- detect this is a src.rpm, and open it to add every file, thus allowing easier upload of a complex upload ( asking to the user if this is what he want, of course )
- warn people that this is likely wrong ( even if I could see some reason to upload a src.rpm, like for example rpmlint, I suspect that it will not do what people want most of the time )

The webui had code to do exactly this (using download_src_package source service when a src.rpm gets added).

Sascha, is this gone ?

The service is still here, but it wasn't added with my test. I have added it by hand once I found out later ( after posting the bug report ), but I was not sure on how to use it.

Dunno, can't recall ever touching such code.
