And if we use github pull requests there is no upstreaming or backporting; a contributor who wants a patch to apply to a specific version simply makes a pull request for that version. I'm more than happy to help maintain one or more of the release branches, if/once we've cleaned up the process so that a maintainer is not required per-se to know the details of every patch applied. This will require some refinement of the actual release process for a version but we can come to that later. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
