Awesome job!
I note the last tag is mariadb-10.0.10; just wondering if say I fix a bug or make an improvement (in my case, in oqgraph) and make a pull request against this repo, what the procedure would be for backporting to 10.0.12 say?
Yes, I have 10.0 and older trees in my local git repository. The only reason I didn't push them - to avoid pull requests for thees that we still maintain on launchpad. So, for 10.0 you still need to do a merge request on launchad or submit a patch, e.g. attach it to the jira issue. I hope we'll move other trees soon, but as they're GA, it's safer not to disrupt them now and polish all the procedures on 10.1 first.
Would the process be as simple as generating a patch from the relevant github changes and then reposting that to the mail list / JIRA issue? Would there still be a need to maintain my own branch on bzr?
Yes, I believe it'll work. If you create a branch based on, say, 10.0.10 tag, that should be, basically, a 10.0.10 tree. Just remember - you commit a fix in your git tree, export it as a patch, we apply to 10.0, push, release, tag, you pull into your git tree - and you'll have a merge conflict to resolve. It shouldn't be a big issue though. Whether you want a bzr branch on launchpad is up to you. But, indeed, I don't see what it could be useful for. Regards, Sergei
