fostering open source contributions says that it can discourage contribution by
conveying a false sense of "code ownership". Marking territory is negatively
affecting collaboration. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFDm3UYkeE
* basically get rid of the scheme and apisrv mess - instead directly use the apiurl (== <protocol>://<host>) for everything
* some other minor cleanups here and there
* everyone who has a scheme or apisrv entry in his ~/.oscrc will get a deprecation warning but it's still working (at some point in the future we might remove these code paths)
* when writing a new ~/.oscrc store the apiurl in the conffile [fixes#478054]
- while being at it:
* fixed#478054 ("osc asks for build.o.o credential even if -A<somelocalapi> is always used")
* fixed#478052 ("osc backtrace on password entry (first startup)")
* although other targets do work, only activated arm and sh4 targets for Cross Build
* powerpc could also be used for Cross Build, but uses Native Build atm
* thes limited switching on of Cross Build is due to a new interface for workers that will handle workers with *super capabilites* in the future.
* then you can configure Cross Build at configure/runtime, not by changing the code
* rework buildinfo parser.
* handle new (or rather, future) attributes
named noinstall, package (we call it repopackage), repoarch.
* handle kiwi builds.
The urllist template (for constructing download URLs) was changed to
make the '_repository' part variable.
Default is "extra-pkgs = vim gdb strace" -- and it can be overridden with -x ''
on the commandline, or set to empty in the config. [bnc#345142]
- make tilde expansion work on the packagecachedir setting
otherwise packages are stored incorrectly in the package cache
and that might cause problems later. Also refuse to build an
architecture locally that is not supported by the host architecture
the BUILD_DIST environment variable will be ignored by osc
- the following environment variables can still be used:
# OSC_SU_WRAPPER overrides the setting of su-wrapper.
# OSC_BUILD_ROOT overrides the setting of build-root.
# OSC_PACKAGECACHEDIR overrides the setting of packagecachedir.
(now they're documented in the helptext)
