PR workflow discussion - 14:39 UK
-
'Exclude' vs 'close' PRs
-
Josh: Andreas would like something between the two
- can’t exclude one’s own PR
-
Helen: perhaps snoopy could read --exclude comments
- Seb S: people could then un-exclude their build-breaking PRs
- Chris: snoopy could look at both issue label and PR comments
- Mark: prefer not to close PRs, so as not to forget that some work was pending
-
Curtis: use snoopy as proxy to parse commands and label accordingly
- Jean-Marie: would be a good start
- Chris: parse when merge build runs
-
Josh: Andreas would like something between the two
-
docs PRs on both branches at once to avoid further nitpicky changes on rebase
- Colin: people can find issues with rebases, and then with the rebases of the rebases, etc., so perhaps only merge once corresponding PRs on both branches are accepted
