Patchy has helped us avoid breaking git master a few times recently, but each time involves a certain amount of my time and energy. I need to check the logs to see if it was just an accident, look through the git history to see if there's any particularly suspicious commits that may have caused it, try again without those commits, repeat, and then finally branch the entire staging and start over from scratch.
This eats up time that I could otherwise spend on releases or organizing stuff. Nothing in Patchy requires my unique skills. There's a few more things that could be done to improve things, but those can pretty much just follow the existing pattern. If somebody else could take over Patchy -- even if only the staging stuff, not the new patches -- that would free up time I could spend solving release-critical bugs. If somebody could handle the new patches as well, that would be even better. We could easily have two separate people doing staging and new patches. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
