Message-ID: <56CFFA04.10904@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 -0000 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/38.6.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.68 on 10.5.11.22 X-SW-Source: 2016-02/txt/msg00016.txt.bz2 When backporting bugs to stable branches please: - Create a new point release entry in NEWS if the previous release manager has't. I just did this for 2.23.1. - Update NEWS with the bug you just fixed. We don't file distinct bugs for the point release so you must still update those bugs by hand. e.g. ~~~ Version 2.23.1 Security related changes: [Add security related changes here] The following bugs are resolved with this release: [19679] gcc-4.9.3 C++ exception handling broken due to unaligned stack ~~~ This way we'll keep the point releases updated and listing the bugs that were fixed by backports. Cheers, Carlos.
