-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi all, I've found out there are no clear public instructions on how to handle oslo-incubator synchronizations in master and stable branches neither at [1] nor at [2]. Though my observations show that there is some oral tradition around community on how we handle those review, as follows: 1. For master oslo-incubator sync requests, we tend to sync the whole modules or even all the modules that a project uses (unless some specific obstacles to do so). This is to use the latest and greatest code from Oslo subproject, fetch all possible bug fixes and goodies, and make the synchronized copy of it as similar to upstream (=oslo-incubator) as possible. 2. For stable branches, the process is a bit different. For those branches, we don't generally want to introduce changes that are not related to specific issues in a project. So in case of backports, we tend to do per-patch consideration when synchronizing from incubator. 3. Backporting for stable branches is a bit complicated process. When reviewing synchronization requests for those branches, we should not only check that the code is present in all consequent branches of the appropriate project (f.e. for Havana, in both Juno and Icehouse), but also that the patches being synchronized were successfully backported to corresponding stable branches of oslo-incubator. So the usual way of oslo-incubator bug fix is (in case of e.g. Neutron): oslo-incubator (master) -> neutron (master) -> oslo-incubator (stable/icehouse) -> neutron (stable/icehouse). [For Havana, it's even more complicated, introducing more elements in the backporting chain.] I hope I've described the existing oral tradition correctly. Please comment on that, and if we're ok with the way it's written above, I'd like to update our wiki pages ([1] and [2]) with that.
