Hi,

Cherry-pick bot is now turned on in all repositories. Thanks Daniel!

I’ve generated cherry-pick commits for all changes in dev that have the Pick-to: footer, and I’m in the process of pushing those to gerrit with topic “pre-cherry-pick-bot”.

https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/topic:pre-cherry-pick-bot

Changes that were already on gerrit, but had been abandoned or are deferred, are taken out of the pushed chain of commits.

The output attached lists the result for each commit that was picked. Commits for which the script generated a warning or error (look for yellow or red lines in the attachment) might need attention. I’ll +2 and stage cherry-picks that didn’t cause problems once I’m done, but I’m not going to be upset with anyone that does it either.

Should there be any commits missing, please go ahead and cherry-pick those manually, or using the gerrit UI. wiki.qt.io is updated with instructions:

Cheers,
Volker
