From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> The candidate list for backports lists partial fixes like: "(21.02 (partially fixed in 21.08))" That is useful to identify fixes menat for later releases, but indirectly applying to older ones as well.
While the devscript has no access to the stable tree to fully check if the respective interim commit is present there, reporting the commit id will still help to check it later - because only if the interim commit id is in the stable tree, then also the new fix is a real candidate for backporting. The above would become "(21.02 (partially fixed in c30751afc360 @ 21.08))" Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrha...@canonical.com> --- devtools/git-log-fixes.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/devtools/git-log-fixes.sh b/devtools/git-log-fixes.sh index 27ec9088d4..a1b548948a 100755 --- a/devtools/git-log-fixes.sh +++ b/devtools/git-log-fixes.sh @@ -76,7 +76,7 @@ origin_version () # <origin_hash> ... # look chained fix of fix recursively local rootver="$(origin_version $roothashes)" [ -n "$rootver" ] || continue - echo "$rootver (partially fixed in $origver)" + echo "$rootver (partially fixed in $origin @ $origver)" else echo "$origver" fi -- 2.34.0
