Task #7738
Updated by daviddavis over 3 years ago
If you try to cherrypick a commit that's been released to a release branch, the commit validation fails and also the release automation will fail. Document the process how # Solution Add support for a new tag such as `backport #1234` which can be added to deal with these cherry picks. ## Commit Validation Update the commit validation to use the new tag and update any attached issue. It should also skip validating the state of any `fixes`/`closes`/etc tagged issue. ## Release automation Optimally the release automation should be able to attach the backport issues to the release milestone. Perhaps it could `git blame` the CHANGES entries. If this is too difficult, another option would be to disable this part of the release automation for release branches.
