Really awesome stuff, thank you guys! John Postlethwait Nebula, Inc. 206-999-4492 On Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 3:46 PM, Monty Taylor wrote: Hey guys! We just upgraded to a new version of gerrit.

Finally, there is a section for changes that the developer has already reviewed, in case they need to be further tracked. We're hoping that some of these things help to reduce a little bit of the burden in terms of tracking which things should be watched. We'll be working on getting our patches upstreamed in the near future... but since they are new workflow possibilities, we're happy to get feedback on ways in which they could be more useful to folks. Also - we have an open question - which is, if the pre-approval check jobs fail in Jenkins, should the patch be automatically marked Work In Progress. We're not going to do that right out of the gate, but would love feedback on what people think. Thanks everybody!

I think that a reasonable assumption to say that if the commit didn't pass the tests there is still work to do in there and be marked as such.

[Openstack] new version of gerrit - with new features!
