Description

Run 1 of the process and addressing the challenges as we go along.

The issues listing the work done are contained in epic https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/release/-/epics/17

A

Is these branches, these staple branches, prepare our branches.

A

B

A

So I think Marius is not.

B

Working anything, so that's the edge case I explained yesterday, so someone pushes to a branch right and they protect it that gets inked, they are protected and then you push and rebase on top of that branch, and now you have diverging branches and mirroring is no longer working.

A

B

That's what I said yesterday, yes, but.

A

B

So we decided yesterday, if you use our mirroring feature for this specific reason, but yeah that needs to be there cleaned up so that there needs to be cleaned up resolved so that mirroring actually ends up fully operational.

A

B

Not that many actually, but what worries me is that there are some stable branches that are being shown as.

B

A

There wouldn't be any security changes there.

B

Is no, there is no ongoing release security, one no.

B

So yeah mirroring needs to be passing.

A

B

That's true, but this needs to be fixed in the product needs to be fixed in the product, because anyone can protect the branch basically and break the mirroring.

B

The behavior should still try to sync branches that it can sync but warned maintain errs of the project that there are diverging branches and not in this format, because this is hidden in the settings page, it's nearly impossible to see, and you only get one I think one email that is easy to just ignore it's a good as a notification, but that's pretty much. It.

A

B

Is one at least I created one.

B

But this is see like this needs to be done. Ii as well right.

B

Wait what couldn't find remote ref? This isn't dev all day.

B

It's not, there am.

A

B

Just wanted to track a sink, but can't because something.

A

B

But that one exists on there right now.

B

B

In the meantime job did you merge into the total deploying branch? Did you merge the honorable stuff? You already think answers so sorry for asking again you can I forgot yeah, alright. So basically this is checked off and we need to ensure that the mirroring is working. Can you edit and add to this issue that mirroring needs to be operational.

B

Alright, let's try and clean this up. First.
