[Buildroot] Confusion about 2022.11 release branch

[Buildroot] Confusion about 2022.11 release branch

[Andrey Nechypurenko]

Hello Buildroot Folks,

I am currently trying to update to the latest stable 2022.11 release.  What
surprises me is that there is no 2022.11.x branch as I would expect.
Instead, it seems to me that the release is somehow related to the branch
2012.11.x. It could be confirmed looking at this location:
https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tag/?h=2022.11
It says Release 2022.11 but the branch mentioned in the combo-box in the top
right corner says it is the 2012.11.x branch.

So my question is whether it is intended like this or am I missing
something?

Thank you,
Andrey.

It is simply that I haven't made one yet. 2022.11 was released on the
5th, and since then I have backported the (security) fixes from 2022.11
to the older releases (2022.02.x and 2022.08.x). Those branches have now
also been released so I will start reviewing the post-2022.11 changes to
master and backport them to 2022.11.x (and 2022.02.x where applicable).

The reason why you see 2012.11.x in the branch drop down is that was
simple the first time I did such a bugfix release (and it sorts
alphabetically before the other branch names).

Anything specific you are missing from the 2022.11 release?

Not really. I am including Buildroot as a submodule in my git repository. So
I was wondering what tag or branch I have to check out to get the 2022.11
release.

Thank you,
Andrey.
