[OS-BUILD PATCH 0/3] Prepare to separate out merge upstream step
From: dzickusrh on gitlab.com
I am trying to modify the workflow to use a single branch for
development as opposed to 'os-build' and 'ark-patches'. The first step
I want to take is to split apart the merge-upstream step and release
step. This makes it easier to convert the merge-upstream step to a
single branch later.
This patchset prepares the scripts to separate the steps by making the
scripts less dependent on 'os-build' and more robust for repeated runs.
And importantly adds a Makefile command that the gitlab-ci.yml can use
too.
The next step is to update the kernel-ark-ci tree with gitlab-ci.yml
changes to utilize these changes. The third step is to actually split
them apart. Finally updating the release steps.
