Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: eyal edri [Administrator]
Assignee: infra
We want to help stable branch maintainers to minimize the time needed for merging
approved changes ( i.e CR +2 and VERIFY +1 ) and also to reduce the chance of merge
conflicts.
A suggestion was made to create a job which will detect patches ready to be merged with
the flags CR +2 and V +1 set and will auto rebase them, so when a maintainer is ready to
submit a patch, hopefully the patch won't need a rebase and can be merged without
further waiting for rebase or CI.
This approach might introduce challenges when working on patches that are dependent on
other patches and a specific logic might be required to handle special cases.
[~tnisan(a)redhat.com][~ykaul][~dfediuck] I hope this conveys the need and requirement,
please comment or add thoughts if I missed anything.
Initially we'll try enabling it for ovirt-engine on 4.1 branch.
