Comment(by jhpalmieri):
As is often the case with upgrading, I'm puzzled by the logic here. How
can any patches help an upgrade from 4.5.3 (for example) to 4.6?
- Upgrading won't affect files like {{{spkg/standard/deps}}} or
{{{spkg/install}}} as long as those files aren't tracked anywhere -- see
#9433.
- Upgrading will change scripts like {{{sage-upgrade}}}, but of course it
has to be running the old versions during the upgrade process.
I can understand that patches to these files might help in future
versions, but is there any way to deal with 4.5.3 to 4.6?
(Meanwhile, I'm building a vanilla 4.5.3 to test the new upgrade path.)
