Hi John, Branch protection is a new GitHub feature, and recently it's enabled for ceph-qa-suite. Administers of the "ceph" GitHub org can view the current settings: https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/settings/branches It looks like someone recently checked the boxes "Require status checks to pass before merging" and "Require branches to be up to date before merging". This means that PRs cannot merge until both conditions are true: 1) the tests must pass 2) master must be in a state where the PR would be a fast-forward merge Looking at the audit log, https://github.com/organizations/ceph/settings/audit-log?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=protected_branch zmc – protected_branch.update_required_status_checks_enforcement_level Required status checks for master on ceph/ceph-qa-suite were activated for non-admins United States 2 days ago zmc – required_status_check.create The status default was marked as required for the branch master on ceph/ceph-qa-suite United States 2 days ago So you can ask Zack about this. - Ken On Fri, Jul 29, 2016 at 5:44 AM, John Spray <jspray@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I've been noticing this status on ceph-qa-suite pull requests, where > there are no merge conflicts but it was just opened a while ago. > > I'm guessing this is either a new github thing or something we > enabled?
