We have an upstream first policy. We find problems, talk with upstream about the problem, submit patches that are acceptable by upstream, only then do we patch an old release that we want some stability in. We re-base to a current release that allows us to drop patches when convenient. -Steve _______________________________________________ scap-security-guide mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide
