Recent news
===========

Backport policy clarification from Stephan and Ben:

When submitting backports to gerrit for stable branches, pull up commits from
the nearest upstream branch.

* Patches targeted to openafs-stable-1_6_22_branch should be cherry picked from
  the openafs-stable-1_6_x branch.

* Patches targeted to openafs-stable-1_6_x (old stable) should be cherry picked
  from the openafs-stable-1_8_x branch (new stable).

* Patches targeted to openafs-stable-1_8_x (new stable) should be cherry picked
  from the master branch (development).

This workflow adds overhead, but is intended to reduce the risk of fixes being
overlooked and reduces potential merge conflicts.

Exceptions may be made for special cases, for example for proof-of-concept
patches against stable branches, but they should immediately marked -1 or -2
explaining why they were not pulled up from development branch.

Mike to update the wiki.openafs.org with this info.
