[Bug 2046871] Re: migrate to upstream release/coreNN branch

[Julian Andres Klode]

I concur that 1:0~84 would be a lot nicer but I also don't really see an
upstream project versioning from the description, just random branches
and commits in them. Could also use 0~~ or something to make it even
smaller until upstream has a release number actually.

Title:
  migrate to upstream release/coreNN branch

Status in backport-iwlwifi-dkms package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In the past we're tracking the upstream master branch and create new
  builds upon the lastest HEAD available at the moment. This, however,
  creates ambiguity for tracking backport-iwlwifi development &
  releases, because the upstream puts more emphasis on the coreNN
  releases instead of the development branch master when investigating
  support of new hardware models.

  Currently backport-iwlwifi-dkms/noble, versioned 11510-0ubuntu1, is
  built from upstream revision 11520, which maps to upstream git commit
  41e354fb5f32 that is a few commits behind the release/core84 HEAD
  commit 6d8764841123 (revision 11517). To migrate to release/core84
  branches, it follows we will have to rebase our work to release/core84
  HEAD and to fix debian version with an additional epoch. The proposed
  new version nubmer is 1:84.<rev>-git<hash>-0ubuntu1.
