Somehow inspired from Debian, my first idea would be to create a "x.y-backports" branch, where "x.y" is the branch for the stable release series. For example, with 5.6 release series built from branch "5.6", there could be "5.6-backports" branch which is kept in sync in "5.6" but also can get "selected" new features from devel (master branch) backported.The "selected" new features should be mostly a matter of the people willing to put effort in backporting, but I would consider a list recommendations not to end up with devel and backports branches being more or less the same. For example, in the "no-backporting" list: - no backporting of completely new modules - no backporting of significant changes to the config file language and native scripting interpreter In the "ok-to-backport": - updates to enable use with newer versions of external libraries - changes to make some functions/modules to cope better with the core infrastructure or end points Commits to the backports branch can be proposed via pull requests. The backports branch should be done only for latest stable version, picking from the development version. Right now it would be 5.6, but we can wait till 5.7 is released and then have it for it. No packaging and no official releases should be made from backports branch, only a git branch to be maintained as a community effort. Of course, if someone wants to put more resources into it, we can discuss about.
I've no problem to provide the debs without formal releases. It could be handle as we already do for X.Y branches. A nightly build if changes are detected.
Anyhow, the first questions would be if such branch sounds good to have and if there are people that think they can also contribute to maintain it.
It sounds fine to me -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`. Victor Seva | | : :' : linuxman...@torreviejawireless.org | | `. `' PGP Key ID: 0x51A09B18CF5A5068 | | `- Debian Developer | -----------------------------------------------------------------
