[jira] [Assigned] (OFBIZ-11297) Tools to backport

Nicolas Malin (Jira)

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-11297?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jacques Le Roux reassigned OFBIZ-11297:
---------------------------------------

    Assignee:     (was: Jacques Le Roux)

I silly thought that I could reuse the svn backport scripts by using GitHub Svn feature, I'm not completelty sure it's impossible but almost :/

So we need to have scripts which handle in ordder branches switch, cherry-pick, commit and push.

> Currently backport in Git (to R18 and R17) is mostly done by cherry picking. This is hand work. I think we should concentrate on tools necessary to backport with Git. Like the convenient scripts we had previously with Svn.
> And if we want to continuously/seriously backport to R16 we need a such tool too, from Git to Svn, using patches maybe. An alternative is to stop supporting R16 and release R17. Sincerely, I'm actually more inclined to this alternative...
