Hi All,
Every month I'm trying to publish a Fedora Kernel patch report that
lists all of our patches and why we are carrying them. Thankfully,
the past couple of times I've done this it's been pretty clear that
for the most part we're just carrying fixes queued up to head to Linus
soon.
However, it also means I have to track down the status of that patch
every month. I've been trying to keep PatchList.txt up to date, but
that isn't scaling very well as it's easy for people to forget to add
patches to it or remove them when we drop the patch. To help this
tracking, I'd like to push the status information into each patch
itself. What I propose is basically to fields at the top of each
patch:
Bugzilla:
Upstream-status:
The first is fairly self-evident. It just list the Red Hat Bugzilla
number associated with the patch. If there isn't one, just put N/A.
Only question I have is why/whether this needs to be rhbz, or if we
could just do arbitrary bz urls. I don't really mind either way though.
