Ah, I see. Probably would need some weird workaround to get this working then, which may not be worth your time/effort.
I think for us to support —reference, it would be straightforward but not exactly trivial either. It would require a modest code change from what I recall since I was working in that area late last year, but in a critical system that we’d probably need to be extra careful validating to make sure we don’t have regressions. That said, since this is a dealbreaker for you, thanks for giving GoCD a try anyway. I might give a try to add support for that flag, but it won’t be overnight and likely not in a time frame that could work for you. Optional, but if you have any feedback about GoCD itself, we welcome that/would be certainly interested in hearing. -Marques On Mon, May 10, 2021 at 7:01 PM HUSSEIN KADIRI <[email protected]> wrote: > You're right the agent won't need read write.
