No. You just hand edit in the bits you need for your port, and seek approval for that. In general, all new work goes into trunk, first. Once it is there, then you can back port to the first oldest release branch. Once there, then you can back port to the next oldest and so on. If it can't make it into a branch, it can't go onto the next oldest branch. So, be be concrete, get 5 in first, then ask for 4.9. Get 6 in first, then ask for 5. Get trunk in first, then ask for 6. > What about 6 branch and trunk? 6 would have the same answer as 4.9 and 5. For trunk, import from upstream is the usual way to pick up that work. > On the other hand: this is my first patch and I'm not quite familiar > with the procedure of applying patches to upstream.
