Change Details

This would be to enable the use of numbers and hyphens in call signs and would require the implementation of a disambiguation character or character set ( :: seems appropriate at first glance ) This arose from a request in IRC where a possible implementation with many projects and an internal (DNS compatible) naming scheme of `[A-Z]{3-5}-[\d]{3}` for was finding it difficult to work out how to implement easily derived callsigns (for now we have opted to go for roman numerals: i.e. FOOIII, FOOIV, FOOV) Note that I'd be happy to work on this, on the proviso that there is enough support for it and that the change is likely to be accepted upstream once we have ensures it doesn't have unforeseen consequences. ----- There is a user-based initiative for funding the development of this feature. If you are interested, you can chip in here: {I3}

Once, repositories needed to have callsigns. They no longer do; callsigns are now optional. Currently, repositories with no callsign get ID-based URIs like `/diffusion/123/`. This doesn't cause any concrete issues, but it would be nice to offer more human-readable URIs based on the "Short Name" instead, which would look like `/source/repository-short-name/`.
