QUESTION
Which process is envisioned to update a package description at the SailfishOS:Chum OBS repository?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
The old description of this package at SailfishOS:Chum stays.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have not found any technical means to update a package description at a OBS-repository after it was initially submitted and accepted, if one is not maintainer of the the package at the target repo or administrator of the target repo. Side note: The description field of the package submission form only creates a description for the specific submission.
I have tried asking to update various package descriptions at SailfishOS:Chum with the one from SailfishOS:Chum:Testing via the description of the request or as a comment to it couple of times, and even succeeded once or twice, but see that this is a fully manual process, which requires an admin of SailfishOS:Chum to go to the package at SailfishOS:Chum:Testing, copy its current description and paste it as package description at SailfishOS:Chum. Hence this is not a feasible process for the permanently growing number of packages at SailfishOS:Chum.
What seems to work well, is to submit a request to delete a package at SailfishOS:Chum and to pose another request which submits the package again. For OBS this submission is an initial one, hence the package description is automatically copied, AFAIU. Up to now this happened rather as a side effect of renamed packages and I always waited until the deletion request was accepted before submitting the package anew.
Suggestion
Define the scheme of sending a request to delete a package at SailfishOS:Chum, immediately followed by a submission request for this package as the regular process to update the description of a package at SailfishOS:Chum.
Hence this issue is rather to document this process and make the maintainers (currently principally @piggz and @rinigus) aware that a combination of a deletion request followed by a submission request of the same package shall both be accepted in their original order to achieve an updated package description without any significant period of time this package is not available at / from SailfishOS:Chum.
