Go through sustaining to get the source patched and the updates available in the sustaining repository. The changes will almost certainly need to go into Nevada first. > If we update the package in the repository, how will 2008.11 users be able > to get these specific updates? They'll need to be pointed at the sustaining repo for 2008.11. > I tried doing this myself (pointing at what I believe are newer versions > in /dev), but I am unsure of the user process.

This prevents your pkg(5) from moving parts of your system forward but leaving other parts behind, potentially running into severe issues where system libraries are out of sync and nothing works. So if you want a package to be made available for build 101, you need to publish your package at a version which is allowed by the constraint -- in this case, it needs to be @0.5.11-0.101(.x...), and not ...-0.109, which is not allowed.
