Re: [ovirt-devel] Creating a new gerrit flag

From: "Oved Ourfali" <ovedo(a)redhat.com&gt; To: "David Caro" <dcaroest(a)redhat.com&gt; Cc: infra(a)ovirt.org, devel(a)ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, December 9, 2014 2:27:14 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Creating a new gerrit flag top posting: How about the following flow: 1. You push a patch to gerrit. 2. You need +1 on Testing in order to merge it. 3. You have +1/-1 on the Tests if finished successfully/failed 4. You find out you need to rebase. 5. The rebase copies the result of the Tests of the previous patch-set... if it was +1, it remains +1 and you can merge (assuming you have +2 on CR). If it was -1 then you need to wait for the CI to finish, and it might set it to +1. Does that make sense?
