Soyuz needs package-specific uploaders

[Julian Edwards]

Currently we have DistroComponentUploader, which gives us:

   ubuntu:main:ubuntu-core-dev
   ubuntu:universe:ubuntu-dev
   etc.

In addition, I would like to have PackageUploader

  distribution:sourcepackagename:person

This should not be UNIQ so you can have multiple uploaders for a
package. A source package for this distro with that name should be
accepted even if they are not (in) the distro component uploader.

This will allow us to have a Dell engineer, or team, maintain a
Dell-specific package even if it is in main. It will allow an upstream
engineer from product foo to get involved in the foo package in Ubuntu.

PPA's and good native-source-sync-from-PPA mean that something like this
is less important but I still want the capability to do it.

This should be editable on the package level, so you'd have a +uploaders page under a DistributionSourcePackage which would list all uploaders (including DCU) allowed to change that package, and allow you to add "overrides" for that list.

This should be listable on the distribution level, so you'd have an /ubuntu/+uploaders page that displays uploaders and the global override list.

1.2.4 will see the new schema added, 1.2.5 will change the code to use it.

[Julian Edwards (julian-edwards)]

It's taken a long time to agree on the schema but it's finally in progress to be ready for 1.2.4. The code changes will be done early in the 1.2.5 cycle and thus will be available in Edge at that time.

First fix landed in RF 6263, which changes the upload system's access checks to the new schema and adds support for per-package rights.

A further fix is needed to eliminate the old schema and related code.

Final fix in RF 6271.
