Magento2: commit #7344 (Fix in CarrierFactory) not present in v2.1.5

[surajsanchit]

Commit #7344 Is not present in release 2.1.5 which causes shipping modules depending on storeview specific configurations not to behave as expected.

Seeing as the fix is merged on 07-11-2016 I would expect it to be available in the latest stable release.

Yep the commit 08b5177d6745596f2993400e8a6a9a6ada69308f is only present on branch develop http://take.ms/NyoJ1 meaning it will normally appear in 2.2 unless additional actions are taken.

I am not sure if the Magento, Inc. has this additional step (backport any small bugfix into 2.0 and 2.1 branches as soon as it's fixed on develop) in their internal workflow. That would certainly be something a lot of people would benefit from, but unfortunately it is unlikely that the bugs "fixed in develop but not on 2.1" are even tracked anywhere.

[surajsanchit]

Wow thats a mindfuck, so hotfixes/bugfixes arent released in patches at all (2.1.xx)? Anyway we can speed this up, e.a. any forks/releases that include the develop bugfixes?

Without the fixes its really cumbersome running Magento 2 on production enviroments

[korostii]

Well most of the fixes are on the develop branch, but running a production instance with code from this branch is even more risky since it also contains unfinished features. You could make a fork, and cherry-pick those fixes one-by-one, but then again such a flow would require a lot of effort and defeat the usage of composer as such. For a small development team the "fix the most critical ones via di.xml" approach might just be the most cost-effective.
Honestly, I don't see any straightforward workaround. I would suggest that they (Magento, Inc.) just need to release small patchy 2.1.x.x versions each week, but it seems that their current release process just cannot accommodate the speed, as each release goes through a long queue of tests and what-else.
Basically, that's also why we keep seeing some bugs reported here up 10 times each: they just drag on for months unfixed, waiting for their time to come.

There is one way we can speed it up though: if it's important for you enough, you could make a fork and produce a pull request targeted to the 2.1 branch (or rather 2.1-develop, not sure about this part). Making a pull request currently seems to get faster attention from core developers.

I'm starting to suspect more and more than veloraven is just a bot.

Que?
..looks up Code of Conduct to see if he missed something.

[korostii]

It's probably assumed to be something vague in between "Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks" and not "Showing empathy towards other community members".

Well guess what, forcing someone to edit the issue description weeks (which is already provided in the linked PR #7344 ) weeks after the fact - that isn't too empathetic neither.

Speaking of "Code of Conduct", my previous message was clearly ignored.
That's not respectful of my differing viewpoint.
That's not "Gracefully accepting constructive criticism".
That's not "Focusing on what is best for the community".
