Hi Yves!

I just updated the README (and added a backback GitHub action) to the repository. Now if we want to backport a pull request we can add the label 'backport mapserver-8' to the pull request, and the magic will happen when we merge it.

I updated the README text as follows (please update it if it needs more clarifications or if I made mistakes):

***
Please perform all pull requests into the main branch, and inside the pull request mention which branch to backport the changes to; one of the repository managers will then apply the corresponding label, to magically backport to that branch.

    - use branch `main' for all for all pull requests
    - other branches to backport to include:
        - mapserver-7.6
        - branch-6-2
***


(I really wish we had used a standard way for naming the branches, but, too late now ha)

PS. thanks for your many 8.x updates!

-jeff

Hello Developpers community, :)

Following last update in MapServer 7.6 et 8.0 I created two branches in basemaps project to get basemaps working with such version of MapServer.

Finally, the fix could be backported to main branch so we don't need two new branches but ...

# The README tells;

 > use the branch corresponding to your mapserver version, e.g.

  * branch-6-2 for mapserver versions 6.2.X
  * master for development/current mapserver versions

so I don't know what is the best strategy. Creating a branch for each MapServer version could be a lot of maintenance work.

What do you think? One branch most compatible with most of MapServer Release or one branch by release?
