Hello,
I will start to maintain 2.0 branch soon.
Here are a few guidelines:
- commiting in 2.0 before vlc.git is not OK;
- numbering and other packaging that do not make sense in vlc.git
are exempted from the previous rule;
- commits should be cherry-picked and signed;
- if you want a fix to be backported, you can add "please BP" in the
commit message or on vlc-devel;
- small fixes will be backported, as the maintainer see fit;
- more important fixes and improvements on modules new in 2.0 but in a
bad shape will be backported too;
- backporting features must be discussed beforehand;
- new modules of 0 priority are easier to backport and will be
considered for backporting.
Thoughts?
