If we could do something scripted that would make it easy to run and build a
table that might work.
The git notes thing looked clunky and with them enabled, seemed to make git
messy for other uses. How editable are the git notes?
Assuming all backports retain the change-id, that would help, I’m not sure all
backports always even manage to preserve the git summary…
But if we can build a script that would easily show which patches have or have
not been backported, that would be a big help. Right now, I’m always so
confused as to what has actually been backported…

I use "git log --grep=<summary-line>" to get all commits and then use "git
branch --contains" on each returned commit. We should be able to make use of
gerrit's change-id for this purpose as well. A little cumbersome but this is a
better way than maintaining another file where we manually update things.
"git notes" is another option!
Regards, Malahal.

Hmm, I wonder if what would work best is to have a Google Spreadsheet with
column 1 listing the commits in next, and columns to indicate if backport is
required or complete for each older stable version we care about?
I know when handling support issues it would be really helpful to know if a
given fix was backported or not…

It would be nice to "tag" commits that we want to back port with git notes or
some such thing.
Last week's V2.6 commits that need backporting will be ported this week (a week
behind in time to allow some testing in V2.6)
Whoever is going to tag the release can "cherry-pick" the commits (any merge
conflicts will be coordinated with the author).
Regards, Malahal.

When we first talked about stable maintenance for V2.5, it seemed like IBM
was most likely to be using V2.5 and we elected Malahal to be V2.5-stable
maintainer.
It now seems we have pressure from other fronts for V2.5 stable fixes, I'd
like to open the discussion on how best to manage it? I'd be happy to do
additional backports and V2.5-stable tagging, or we could ask Kaleb to do
it, or we can operate on a "make requests to Malahal" procedure.
Any input here is welcome, I want to make sure we respect everyone's needs
for V2.5-stable.
