In taking that approach, those issues that have been fixed in head should not be closed until they have been backported, so it is easily visible that that work needs to be done. So currently it seems some issues need to be reopened. The problem I see with that approach is that from the lists in JIRA it will not be obvious that the work has been completed in HEAD since the one issue (kept open) is being used for the two versions. my 0.02c John > > -dain
