Re: Pulling up changes to stable

Hi there!
   Thanks for the clarification, and apologies for the delay.  Below are the 5-digit change numbers from Gerrit that we'd need to pull up to a stable branch in order to fully support AIX:

15107
15116
15110
15112
15113
15114
15108
15119
15118
15122
15144
15145
15143
15146
15142
15310
15311
15312

   Is there anything I can help do to get those incorporated into the next release?

   Thank you so much!

-Ben

The change number would be the 5-digit number from gerrit, but any of those
would work well enough to identify what you want.

In practice, it causes extra work if a change pulled up like this touches a file already modified by any other change in the queue. In addition, you'll sometimes (or rather often) find that the change from master doesn't apply cleanly to stable, and either needs to be modified or (preferrably) be supplemented by more changes from master not yet on stable.
