Re: Guidelines for backporting to 4x?

Thanks guys. To be clear, I don't think that this change is worth a release. If at all, I was planning to just go on the back of a 4.10.5 if there was one (I know at least of one thread where it was mentioned sometime back, but I realise it might not happen..) On 25 Mar 2015 15:48, Erick Erickson

Guidelines for backporting to 4x?

2015-03-25 Thread Ramkumar R. Aiyengar
I know patches are generally for bug fixes, but given that it is the end of line branch for 4x, do we accommodate requests for back porting small features, or just ask them to patch it themselves? -- Forwarded message -- From: domenkozar g...@git.apache.org Date: 25 Mar 2015 09:17

Shawn pretty well nailed it. Especially this bit: ...unless you are also volunteering to be the release manager. There'll be some push-back even if you're willing to be the RM if it's a big change, but that's a discussion for we'll have when there's a concrete proposal. Best, Erick On Wed, Mar
