Hi,

Today, Nathan and I briefly discussed the idea of collecting the backport snippets that are archived in the wiki at http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph-releases/wiki/HOWTO. We all have copies on our local disks and although they don't diverge much, this is not very sustainable. It was really good as we established the backport workflows. And it would have been immensely painful to maintain a proper software while we were changing the workflow on a regular basis. But it looks like we now have something stable.

Early this year ceph-workbench[1] was started with the idea of helping with backports. It is a mostly empty shell we can now use to collect all the snippets we have. Instead of adding set-release[2] to the script directory of Ceph, it would be a subcommand of ceph-workbench, like so:

  ceph-workbench set-release --token $github_token --key $redmine_key

What do you think ?

Cheers
