Hi all,
I'm trying to find out how I can solve diverging changelogs in SLE/Leap and Factory. There were some patches in SLE12 SP3, which are not needed (and are in fact harmful) in SLE12 SP4.
1. When I take the Factory package and submit it to SLE12 SP4, the submission gets rejected, because some (SP3) patches are not mentioned in the changelog.
2. When I start with the SP3 package and update it manually, leaperbot complains that it does not follow Factory first policy. Release managers tell me I should merge the changes in Factory and resubmit.
3. When I submit the merged changelog, the request gets declined: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/632515
Is the correct process to keep a non-working makedumpfile in SLE12 SP4 and wait until the situation gets escalated by a SUSE partner during Beta testing (which is what I did, effectively)?
Please, advise.
Normally I just create a separate entry saying something along the lines of: This version of the package was not affected by the following bugs / issues from SLE12 SP3: * bsc#1234567 * CVE-XXXX-XXXX -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
