I know this question is more about official MySQL than MariaDB, but it is also about sharing code we write at Facebook and all of the patches we publish can be reused by others as long as others accept BSD contributions. I am getting ready to publish facebook patches for mysql 5.1. We use git internally and are based on MySQL 5.1.44. We intend to stay current with 5.1 releases. What is the best way to manage the code in launchpad across new releases of official MySQL. My current plan is: 1) import MySQL 5.1.44, commit 2) apply patches from my git repo to my bzr repo, commit after each one 3) publish But there will soon be a release of 5.1.45 or 5.1.46 and I don't want to repeat the steps above each time that happens. Do I just publish a large patch for 5.1.44 -> 5.1.4X and get on with my work? Is there a better way? -- Mark Callaghan mdcallag@gmail.com
