Hi all,
From
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Stable_branch_maintenance:
General policies:
Does anyone know the reason for the policy above i.e. why fixes have to go
to master first?
1)
It makes more sense at least for users to get CVE fixes as soon as possible in the maintenance branches.
2)
Normally the versions are different in master and maintenance branches so different patches are required.
Thanks
