Abstract Currently, a merge proposal of a branch against the git-ubuntu repository for an Ubuntu package is tightly coupled to the upload of the branch after it is approved. But uploading a package triggers additional process which isn’t always desirable. Ubuntu developers would like to stage branches without uploading them immediately. Other Ubuntu developers could then build upon these branches and upload from them in the future when appropriate.
Full proposal here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-git-ubuntu-staged-uploads/35409?u=rbasak In particular, please note the following social changes that we would need to accept: * An Ubuntu developer who chooses to push a particular change to a staging branch shall take responsibility for that change as if they uploaded it themselves. * Uploads to the staging branch for a stable release should only be made for the purpose of staging SRUs and only after associated SRU process requirements (eg. SRU documentation in bugs) have been prepared. * Ubuntu developers who upload any changes to a package to Ubuntu should endeavour to incorporate any changes previously staged by other Ubuntu developers. However, such incorporation may not always happen. In this case, it will be up to those who had previously staged changes to rebase them and/or upload themselves as required. Feedback appreciated!
