HOWTO populate the integration branch » History » Revision 14

Revision 13 (Loïc Dachary, 04/17/2015 09:47 AM) → Revision 14/31 (Loïc Dachary, 04/29/2015 07:23 PM)

Before a backported commit can be merged into the release branch, it must be tested in an integration branch. It serves two purposes: 

 * Detect trivial problems that would break the upgrade tests run on the release branch (they are run at the tip of the branch, not at the latest point release) 
 * Do not pollute the release branch with reverted commits (commits would have to be reverted because the stable branch must never be rebased) 

 Let say the release to be tested is *$release* (i.e. giant for instance) and your local clone has two remotes: *origin* which is your read/write fork of the official ceph repository and *ceph* which is the read only official ceph repository. 
 <pre> 
 ceph 	 https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git (fetch) 
 ceph 	 https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git (push) 
 origin 	 git@github.com:dachary/ceph.git (fetch) 
 origin 	 git@github.com:dachary/ceph.git (push) 
 </pre> 

 * Create a $release-backport branch locally if it does not already exists: *git checkout -b $release-backports ceph/$release* 
 * Reset it to ceph/$release: *git reset --hard ceph/$release* 
 * Fetch all pull requests from github. Each pull request XXX has its own branch in the official ceph repository, named *pull/XXX* 
 ** Retrieve the commits of the pull request XXX: *git fetch --force ceph +refs/pull/XXX/head:refs/remotes/ceph/pull/XXX/head* 
 ** Get the title of the pull request: *eval title=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/ceph/ceph/pulls/XXX | jq .title)* 
 ** Merge the pull request in the local integration branch. The *--no-ff* ensures that even if the merge commit could be skipped, it will not be. *git merge --no-ff -m "$(echo -e "Merge XXX: $title\n\nReviewed-by: Myself <me@me.com>")" ceph/pull/XXX/head* 
 * Modify the pull requests individually to fix merge conflicts (i.e. they must merge cleanly, which may involving aggregating two pull requests into a single one designed to properly resolve the conflict).  
 * Push the integration branch to github: *git push --force origin $release-backports* 
 * Verify the integration branch compiles and passes make check 
 ** On the local machine: *./run-make-check.sh* 
 ** Via the make check bot by creating a pull request with the $release-backports* integration branch 
 * Push the integration branch to the official repository: *git push --force ceph $release-backports* (requires write permission to the ceph repository) 

 The following snippet summarizes all the actions above: 
 <pre> 
 release=hammer 
 PRS="3963 4185" 
 reviewer='Loic Dachary <ldachary@redhat.com>' 
 git checkout -b $release-backports $release-backport ceph/$release 
 git reset --hard ceph/$release 
 git fetch --force ceph $(for ref in $PRS ; do echo +refs/pull/$ref/head:refs/remotes/ceph/pull/$ref/head ; echo +refs/pull/$ref/merge:refs/remotes/ceph/pull/$ref/merge ; done) 
 for pr in $PRS ; do eval title=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/ceph/ceph/pulls/$pr | jq .title) ; echo $title ; git log --oneline ceph/pull/$pr/merge^1..ceph/pull/$pr/merge^2 ; git merge --no-ff -m "$(echo -e "Merge $pr: $title\n\nReviewed-by: $reviewer")" ceph/pull/$pr/head ; done 
 git push --force origin $release-backports
