Good morning Arne,

thanks for your reply.

Indeed, we both built an updater for this one - I guess I will just call you on the phone next time, so there is no redundant work done. :-)

How should we proceed? Is the updated kernel a must criterion?

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

Damn. I have tested and build the updater at weekend and added the new kernel. Now it is too large with the new changes...

Hello Michael, hello *,

thanks for your reply.

An updater has now been added, and should contain all necessary files, and restarting commands currently necessary. I will run a clean build again tomorrow, and see if there is anything missing.

Since I bumped into many patches incorrectly flagged in Patchwork: Could you grant me the privileges necessary to edit patches other than my own? This would make things more straightforward, since orphaned patches could be tagged accordingly without bothering their author.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

Good morning Arne, good morning folks,

as discussed at the latest monthly conference (https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/telco/2021-11-01) and on the phone a few weeks ago, I just wanted to inform everyone about the current state of affairs of handling patches:

To shed some load from Arne, who is currently mastering Core Updates, we agreed on me opening up a temporary branch (ad-hoc named "temp-cXXX-development", where XXX stands for the number of the upcoming Core Update in question) in my Git repository for IPFire 2.x. There, I will apply patches being ready to go into the distribution, so whoever is in charge of an update can eventually merge this branch.

I will subsequently eat through Patchwork, starting with the most recent patches. Additional commits required (for example, for shipping rootfiles) will be made if possible.

@Arne: Please find the branch for Core Update 162 here: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/pmueller/ipfire-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/h... Let me know if there is anything wrong or dissatisfying, or some patches need to be reverted due to an update becoming too big. Currently being on the go, it does not contain much yet, but you'll get the idea.

Yes, where is the updater? Does it all still build?

Merging the patches into a branch doesn’t take that much time, but building the update out of it is what is the important part.

@All: Unfortunately, I lack permissions in Patchwork to mark other people's patches as being superseded (@Michael: Can/should we change this?), should I become aware of them. As always, it would be a great help if everyone would periodically review his/her Patchwork list, and scrub orphaned/dropped/rejected/superseded patches from it.

As always, please drop me a line in case of questions or comments.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
