----------------------------------------
Summary: All feature branches should be protected from a force push
Key: DROOLS-1769
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-1769
Project: Drools
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: build
Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
Assignee: Michael Biarnes Kiefer
There are 2 ways to protect a GitHub repository/branch from force pushing:
1) a backend switch (not available in their UI) to disable force pushing for the entire
repo (OLD)
2) "protected branches" in the "settings" menu of each repo, in the
submenu "branches".
Some repositories, such as "drools" and "optaplanner", have 1), so all
their branches are immune to force pushing.
Newer repositories, such as "optaplanner-wb" probably don't have 1).
All repositories seem to have 2) for the following branches: master, 6.4.x, 6.5.x.
BUT NOT 7.3.x etc. That's wrong: this means optaplanner-wb's 7.3.x branch is not
protected against force pushes.
All release branches (7.0.x, 7.1.x, ...) should be protected against force pushing. This
includes future release branches, so the release procedure should be adjusted
accordingly.
We should ask github if there's a way to automatically add all new branches to
"protected branches".
