Would be nice if this could auto detect repo, backport branch etc like the backporter script. This could also be a command to the backporter script.

KristofferC · 2025-12-17T11:15:57Z

Why does this need to use the GitHub API to fetch commits? We can just look on the branch locally, or?

KristofferC · 2025-12-17T11:17:50Z

I'm not sure I want to add a comment to all the PRs that got backported

IanButterworth · 2025-12-17T11:35:50Z

My thinking with that was to make it clearer which backport branch a backport actually landed in. Currently there's a lot of crosslink noise when PRs are mentioned but not included in backport PRs.

I can imagine it being too many notifications though.

- Add --audit and --cleanup-pr flags to backporter.jl - Auto-detect repo from git remote (no longer required) - Use local git commands instead of GitHub API for fetching commits - Remove PR comment functionality when removing labels Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

My thinking with that was to make it clearer which backport branch a backport actually landed in. Currently there's a lot of crosslink noise when PRs are mentioned but not included in backport PRs.

I often find myself confused as to whether a PR has been backported yet (and in which backport PR), so I agree that it'd be nice to have a solution to this.

One idea I had was to have two backport labels for each release. E.g. for 1.12:

backport 1.12 pending
backport 1.12 completed

So then when a "Backports for Julia 1.12.x" PR is merged, the backport script would remove the backport 1.12 pending label from each backported PR, and would replace it with the backport 1.12 completed label. That would solve the problem of "has this PR been backported to Julia 1.12". But it wouldn't solve the problem of "which 1.12.x release has this backport". So maybe posting a comment is better. I do get that it's a lot of notifications, but I feel like it would make things more clear than they are now.

IanButterworth · 2026-01-14T23:27:33Z

@KristofferC gave me the commit bit and is happy to give this a try.

I think this is a step in the right direction to help track which backport PRs landed in, so I think we should give this a go and then consider more if still needed after a few trials in the wild.
