Sorry, if this question has an obvious answer which I was unable to find: where
would I find a list of the changes that will be backported to the 2.4.13
release in order to see if a change has received enough votes?
The backports that are currently on vote are always in the STATUS file
which sits in the top level directory of the respective branch in svn.
For example:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.4.x/STATUS?view=co
If an item has enough votes it is moved in the file from "PATCHES
PROPOSED TO BACKPORT FROM TRUNK:" to "PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT FROM
TRUNK:". Next it gets applied to the code and removed from the file.
After the backport you can find the backported items in the CHANGES file
in svn (if the backport contains a user facing change). Most backports
also are done using "svn merge", so you can also look at the
svn:mergeinfo property of the top level directory of the branch. Finally
you can diff ...
Some parts can be applied without going through status, mostly docs
changes and some platform specific things.
All changes be it to STATUS, to CHANGES or some other files in svn are
mailed to c...@httpd.apache.org to which you could subscribe, if you want
to follow more closely.
Regards,
Rainer
