Backport Wishlist

hchiramm edited this page May 19, 2015 · 1 revision

Bugs often get fixed in master before release branches.

When a bug is fixed in the master branch it might be desirable or necessary to backport the fix to a stable branch.

This page is intended to help organize support (and prioritization) for backporting bug fixes of importance to the community.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812230 - "quota context not set in inode"

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893778 - "NFS crash bug"

A note for whoever reviews this list: These are the fixes for issues that have caused actual service disruption in our production installation and thus are absolutely required for us (-- Lubomir Rintel):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=994392 - "Setting ACL entries fails with glusterfs-3.4.0"

These are issues that we've stumbled upon during the git log review and that seemed scary enough for us to cherry-pick them to avoid risk, despite not being actually hit. Hope that helps deciding whether it's worthwhile cherry-picking them (-- Lubomir Rintel):
