| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in accordance with the gatesgarth Release Notes: > In the ``Upstream-Status`` header convention for patches, > ``Accepted`` has | been replaced with ``Backport`` as these almost > always mean the same thing i.e. the patch is already upstream and > may need to be removed in a future recipe upgrade. If you are adding > these headers to your own patches then use Backport to indicate that > the patch has been sent upstream. <https://docs.yoctoproject.org/migration-guides/migration-3.2.html#miscellaneous-changes> Suggested-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com> (From yocto-docs rev: 9abc0d3100a07d93249f2fb376c42aab1bd9eb3a) Signed-off-by: Roland Hieber <rhi@pengutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Michael Opdenacker <michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman <steve@sakoman.com>
* contributor-guide: discourage marking patches as InappropriateRoland Hieber2023-10-071-16/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was never really clear what all those reasons really meant, and every patch submitted upstream liftens the maintenance on the Yocto side. So remove the current list, and replace it with two reasons in which an upstream submission likely won't benefit the upstream project.
