Adding Series Dependency to Patchwork

Adding Series Dependency to Patchwork

[Adam Hassick]

Hi All,

There has been a discussion on GitHub between myself and others about
adding support for series dependency to Patchwork. This would involve
adding the feature to the Patchwork dashboard and git-pw. However, it
seems like the maintainer would like us to do much of the required
implementation work. I estimate, with a low level of certainty, that
it would consume 35 to 50 hours of developer time.

The active issue relating to this feature can be found here, as well
as the archived one:
https://github.com/getpatchwork/patchwork/issues/583

Would it be worth it for us here at the Community Lab to contribute
upstream to Patchwork? Implementing the feature in the Patchwork
project will make our method for defining series dependencies the
standard, and it may lift some of the burden of maintaining this
feature off of us.

Regards,
Adam Hassick

Hi Thomas,

Adam explains more completely in the preceding email, but he has
talked with the patchwork project maintainer, and determined the
needed next steps to do work adding depends-on support to patchwork
server. And he provides an estimate (35-50 hours of his time) for
adding this feature to pw.

What we want is a community opinion on using Community Lab resources
(our developer time) towards this effort on patchwork project. I'm
going to you, because you were the person who originally raised the
depends on issue and adding this support to pw server.

Given his time estimate, do you endorse this work, or do you prefer we
focus on our SOW items and other community requests which are in queue
right now? Thanks.

Hello,

Yes I still think it is a valuable work to achieve.
If Aaron agrees, I wish you can complete this feature upstream.

Thank you
