FWIW, that is the way I approach it. If several branches are in sync (or nearly so) then merging makes more sense to me. But if the branches diverge then merging from the rawhide branch to a maintenance branch makes little sense, making cherry-picking the better choice. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
