Okay, maybe I wasn't clear enough. :-)
RFC:
Create a role account on svn-qavm.apache.org and have it run
backport.pl once a day, at 4am UTC, _and commit the resulting
merges_.
Impact on the backport process:
- The RM still needs to verify that STATUS is empty before rolling
a tarball.
- STATUS entries will need to adhere to the current syntax.
- Approved STATUS entries that are not to be auto-merged will need to
be designated as such.
Error handling:
- post-commit emails allow us to review the merges that are committed.
- Stefan has root on svn-qavm and he's agreed to help by turning the
cron off if it acts up.
- Beyond that it's just debugging :)
