Experimental features for developers and power users ;-)
New features in openpkg-registry-0.7
- profile
Tell us about you. Some mandatory information must be submitted to enable
availability for token "link" and "assoc" features. The profile allows
management of tokens including issuing new tokens, changing the description,
enabling/disabling features and delete tokens.
- token with "user" feature
Any registered user can issue a token for himself with the "user" feature
enabled and use it as username replacement just to keep his registry email
address (=login) secret in scripts and documentation. Instance association
still calls to visit the web user interface unless the token also has the
"assoc" feature enabled. Just
replace "openpkg register --user=<USER>"
by "openpkg register --user=<TOKEN>"
and hide the username. Works with old clients.
- token with "assoc" feature
Registered users which fill out some mandatory fields in their profile are
eligible to enable the "assoc" (auto association) feature for their token(s).
Using such prepared tokens allows them to stay away from the web user
interface. Requires clients >= 0.6.2 because data upload is mandatory.
- token with "link" feature
Works in addition to the "user" token and links the instance to a 3rd party,
making it appear read-only in the 3rd parties' association page. Think of it
as kinda "carbon copy" registration to tell your friend, manager, solution
provider, whatever. The 3rd party can unlink the instance from itself.
Requires clients >= 0.7.0 because of the --link option.
A "link" token can also trigger user association which means that only the 3rd
party issuing the link+assoc token must fill out the profile and any registered
user can use his "user" token along with the 3rd party "link" token association.
The idea is that a 3rd party takes the burden of filling out the profile on
behalf of others and receives the data from linked instances in return.
New features in openpkg-registry-0.6
- data
Basically uploads "openpkg rpm -qa --provides" (packages and options),
see "openpkg man register" under --data.
Available (and working) in clients >= 0.6.2
PS: firewall impaired users please note that data and token features
also work with dropxml copy'n'paste page in the web interface.
