Motivation¶

There needs to be a way to prevent the RepositoryVersion from being used before it is completely constructed.

Design¶

Here is a recap of the approach used with Publications in #3184 rewritten to apply to repo versions.

• Add an attribute called 'complete' to RepositoryVersion which defaults to False.
• Update the viewset so that it excludes RepositoryVersion objects that have complete=False
• Update the filterset for RepositoryVersion objects to also exclude RepositoryVersion that have complete=False
• After the plugin code returns control to core, have core set complete=True on the RepositoryVersion and then call save() before setting the created_resources on the Task

Additional Requirements:¶

Only 'complete' repo versions can be published
Also add docs for plugin writers specifically for when they need to create RepositoryVersion objects. They need to understand the pattern regarding 'complete'.
