The branch stable/v2.29 contains what I want to release as v2.29.1.
General question:
Is it worth dealing with maintenance branches in the upstream repo?
I mean, downstream projects can cherry-pick fixes and improvements
to their own needs anyway. So I think having one upstream mainline
would be sufficient. WDYT?
I use the branches to create maintenance releases (tarballs), e.g.
v2.29.1.
The goal is to minimize number of patches in downstream packages. So I
guess downstream are happy to have .1 and .2 releases.
That is certainly true for Linux From Scratch.
