01/31/2025, 7:29 PMHey! General question, what is the release-process for patches, I noticed there's a release_2.23.2rc0 but curious what the RC-flow is for patches? Does it depend on if it is the latest public release being patched?

01/31/2025, 8:32 PMThe usual workflow is to land a change on
mainfast-nail-55400
01/31/2025, 8:33 PMBut really it just depends on someone actively pushing for the bug fix to be backported.

01/31/2025, 8:33 PMSo yes, it should be fixed on
mainfast-nail-55400
01/31/2025, 8:34 PMAs for when patches are released, really depends on how urgent a person pushing for a release believes it is.

01/31/2025, 8:41 PMThank you for the thorough explanation! Yes I was thinking of this specifically https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/21887 but then I began thinking of how patches are pushed in the first place 🙂 That makes total sense, and so my question is probably more around; when a backport is already happening, when is it released for consumption

At the very least,. whenever motivated people convince the team to release.
