[Fedora-packaging] rebasing older branches on (vs merge from) master
I'd like to know if rebasing in the packages git repo is generally
frowned upon or I can use for my use case. Basically, I have a package
that has some broken tests upstream is looking into; however these
failures only shows on rawhide, so I have tests disabled there until
situation if fixed.
Other, unaffected branches, has a commit to restore the tests
execution, something like this:
[giallu@faxe rdkit (f25)]$ git lola
* fb42a18 (origin/master, origin/HEAD, master) new upstream release
* 224900e - fix non-x86 builds universally
| * 3346783 (HEAD -> f25, origin/f25) reactivate tests
|/
* bb09397 temporarily disable tests
so now I would like to rebase f25 to master so I pickup the new
release AND keep the tests activated.
Opinions?
