I think you can just override and merge as a committer as there isn’t an IP issue as it is a project bot.

Subject: [jakartaee-spec-project-leads] GitHub bots failing ECA validation

 

Hi,

 

Is there any update on when and how pull requests which contain commits from known bots (such as jta-bot) will be able to be included in branches which are checked for ECA? The latest I see on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=552628 indicates to me that it is not possible yet.

 

Commits from these bots will go into unprotected branches and tags (presumably because they are unprotected), but can't get on a protected branch - failing a validation check for the PR. For now, that means that a release branch cannot be synced back into master.

 

Perhaps we might need to change https://wiki.eclipse.org/JakartaEE_New_Infra_Release_Job such that it doesn't use a bot to create new commits and that becomes part of the role of the person that releases a version so these branches can be synced back?

 

Thanks,

Tom
