Bugzilla – Bug 757355
webui does not allow to edit child project
Last modified: 2012-05-22 02:53:54 UTC
On IBS, I am a maintainer of Devel:Cloud and a co-worker started Devel:Cloud:Python27, but I was not listed as maintainer in it. The OBS webui would not allow me to edit the metadata or users there, but I was able to workaround this by adding myself using osc meta -e prj $PRJNAME Can be confusing or even dangerous, if webui leads one to think, that people can only edit projects with direct membership.
Adrian and me talked about this a while ago already, however the currently only packages inherit (parent) project roles. This is more an internal implementation detail but currently the only parent-child "relationship" between projects is their name, we would have to come up with something different (i.e. a true database relationship) in order implement this efficiently. As I would like to have this feature too, I'll bring it up again in the next meeting ;-)
