Another (I mean in addition to what I wrote in reply to Nathan) against subprojects is that existing custom queries would no longer display the backport issues. For instance http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph/issues?query_id=47 is frequently used and does *not* display subprojects because Ceph is the parent project of all other projects and it would display all their issues. If there was a subproject for backports, it would not show. And if I'm not mistaken there is no way to say : "display issues from these subprojects and ignore the others". > Though I'm not having a > strong opinion on whether subprojects are needed for each version; > probably for issues which have multiple backports ie. backports to both > firefly & hammer for instance it might be a little bit more bookkeeping, > though from a maintainer standpoint; it is easier having a seperate > subproject, so either way is okay. > >> Having all, e.g. hammer, backports in one place is advantageous in >> pretty much every way I can think of: easier to see what has been >> done, what needs to be done, easier to search, easier to automate, >> less risk of munging something not related to backports... >> > > Agree, from a scripting standpoint, we could develop some tools to ease > out the process better, which should it make it easier in backports down > the line. > I think we can do that by creating a tracker. It would be in addition to the Bug, Fix, Documentation etc. trackers that are already in place. Cheers -- Loïc Dachary, Artisan Logiciel Libre
