Would it be possible to configure Dependabot in such a way that it only offers bugfix updates for the 3.x-branches, but not minor or major updates?

Rationale: if there's a security issue ficed in a bugfix release, we most likely want to have it, but we don't want to do double work in migrating to a new major release.

Of course this assumes that we only consume dependecies that adhere to semantic versioning...


Thanks,

Maarten

Thanks. I don't have any problem with how to do it :)
My question is more about if we really care of it?
Because it may generate double efforts regarding the number of PRs to validate.

You can target different branches with dependabot [1], only the
configuration must live in the default branch!

Hi
As few of the plugins now have switched master branch to 4.x API,
Those that have the 3.x branch will not receive any more dependabot
updates (as dependabot only targets, per default, the default branch).
Do we want to keep up2date 3.x branches as well?

cheers
Olivier
