Moin moin I tend to use aliases to get the PRs a sensible id. E.g. 'poppler-21.04'. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=poppler-21.04.0 which can be found easily by knowing the scheme, opposed to the lookup via id https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=254008 I tried to use the alias in this commit here (to see whether it works :D): https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=2f973a2955686494aff30a15f18be3fa0492d9de Unfortunately, the PR was not updated. Would it be possible to extend the PR-handler to accept aliases? So that PR: poppler-21.04.0 leads to the same as PR: 265008 would have? mfg Tobias
For what it's worth With (at least) <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/committers-guide/#_include_appropriate_metadata_in_a_footer> in mind, I suspect that: * use of any string that omits the bug number will be discouraged – partly because: * aliases may be mutable * the bug id number is (to the best of my knowledge) immutable. ---- Seeking logged PR values that begin with alphabetic characters: git -C /usr/doc log --no-expand-tabs --extended-regexp --grep='^PR:[[:cntrl:] ]{1,}[A-Za-z]{1,}' git -C /usr/ports log --no-expand-tabs --extended-regexp --grep='^PR:[[:cntrl:] ]{1,}[A-Za-z]{1,}' git -C /usr/src log --no-expand-tabs --extended-regexp --grep='^PR:[[:cntrl:] ]{1,}[A-Za-z]{1,}' ---- Side note: bug 46272 comment 3 mismatched through misplaced use of a GitHub URL.
