My apologies if that got lost somewhere in between. Yes, it stands for backport (request). I keep the flag names as short as possible because otherwise the bugzilla UI soon becomes unbelievably ugly and bloated. > There hasn't been much traffic on the mailinglist lately since I was on > holiday and PaulS still is on holiday and Leon is swamped at work. I appreciate that. Thanks for the good work. > If you think you have patches that should get applied to the > stablebranch, please post them for review on the stablebranch > mailinglist. Would it be OK if I directed you to http://tinyurl.com/63674m instead? Maybe you can save this search in your bugzilla account? These are patches tagged with the bp keyword request. The Stable branch devs can then ACK or NACK the patch right in the bug tracker. Second person to ACK makes the commit to .stable. Isn't this the kind of review process we are looking for? Maybe you can over time move the complete review process away from the mailing list and into bugzilla. That would be my suggestion. I also did a bit of work on the autobuilder bugs which are fixed in .dev but were filed against .stable in http://tinyurl.com/5th9yj There are no patches in there yet, but these should be easy to get with "mtn -r $devheadrevision -r $stableheadrevision packages/$package", I assume (haven't tried if mtn supports cross-branch diffs).
