If it's something where you expect the need to update the patch for Z_4 then I would say Z-3, but if it's some tweak (ie to allow crossbuilding) and the same patch applied to Z_[12345] then Z is right dir (if Z_6 needs updated patch it will be named the same but in Z-6). > > Your opinion is apprecated I did exactly the same while cleaning xorg-* dirs. So I agree.
