That seems to cover the bad pretty well. So if an upstream release included something from above and bug fixes, if practical you should backport the bug fixes. If that isn't practical, you need to decide whether the behavior change or the bug is worse. Is it safe to say bug fixes combined with enhancements not covered above would generally be OK? -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
