Exporting blockIODevice in version 1.1.4

[m-kat]

Hello,
there is a commit in main (c0be1aa) that exports the struct BlockIODevice in file libcontainer/configs/blkio_device.go . I'm currently using podman 4.3 as a library to embed some of the functionality in the new tool. Podman v4.3 depends on opencontainer/runc v1.1.4 when resolved by go modules, but in order to compile it, the commit mentioned above is needed. Unfortunately whenever golang tries to resolve that commit from runc, it sees it as v1.1.1-0.20220613174039-c0be1aa2d101, so it connects it to v1.1.1 . Is it possible to cherry-pick the change to the v1.1.4 in order to resolve that dependency?
Thank you in advance for your fast response.

I'd rather prefer to release v1.2.0 ASAP.

v1.1.1-0.20220613174039-c0be1aa2d101, so it connects it to v1.1.1 .

No, this points to c0be1aa in the main branch.
The "v1.1.1-" prefix means that the release-1.1 branch for the v1.1.x releases have diverged from the main branch since v1.1.1.

The preliminary plan is to release 1.2.0 this month. This looks a bit ambitious but let's try.

Backporting this to 1.1.x is a less desirable option, since we mostly backport fixes and this looks more like a feature.
