There are cases where back porting may be putting in too much effort. But that case is exception (I guess rare and for few packages) and best judge would be package maintainer. But for usual cases it is better to fix the bugs for the release they have been made against, rather then just fixing it for rawhide and marking it nextrelease. At least putting your best effort. > Rahul > > -- > fedora-devel-list mailing list > fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list > -- Regards, Rakesh Pandit -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
