h3. HOWTO backport

Based on what would be done for the Giant branch

[[HOWTO update the inventory]]

[[HOWTO summarize test results]]

[[HOWTO backport commits]]

[[HOWTO create an integration branch]]

[[HOWTO describe a test result]]

h3. Synchronized repositories

When running teuthology tests for a given branch (say giant), the "ceph-qa-suite":https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite branch must match. In the simplest case it is enough to write:

<pre>

teuthology-suite --suite-branch giant ... --ceph giant ...

</pre>

When a Ceph pull request (for instance "rgw acl response should start with <?xml version=1.0 ?>":https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/4082) needs to be synchronized with a ceph-qa-suite pull request (for instance "create a new get_acl helper to ensure proper xml is compared":https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/pull/370), dedicated branches must be created in the Ceph and ceph-qa-suite repositories. For instance:

<pre>

teuthology-suite --suite-branch wip-rgw-acl-giant ... --ceph giant-backports ...

</pre>

Note that it is not possible to specify a branch that is outside of the Ceph or ceph-qa-suite repositories: write access to these repositories is necessary.

For S3 tests an additional repository must be synchronized in a similar way https://github.com/ceph/s3-tests: there must exist a branch with the same name as the branch specified with **--suite-branch**. For instance the "ceph-qa-suite wip-rgw-acl-giant":https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/tree/wip-rgw-acl-giant branch must have a "s3-test wip-rgw-acl-giant":https://github.com/ceph/s3-tests/tree/wip-rgw-acl-giant counterpart.
