zack renamed this task from Implement a blacklist/whitelist feature on the search engine of the archive to support origin blacklist for archive search and browse.Jun 13 2018, 12:12 PM
zack triaged this task as Low priority.
zack added a project: General.

The simplest approximation of this that I can see is adding a visibility column to the origin table, and tweaking that manually when we get a request.

Seems a nice way to go: we would also need some easy to use interface to
edit the "visibility" bit too...

This is an important feature: it has been dormant for a while, but we need to actually start implementing it.

Notice that the filtering may need to be done at all levels: origins, but also SWHIDs in general.
An example (real) use case is a takedown request for just one specific commit in a repository: we do not want to dereference all the rest.
