Well, I'm not even sure going with the integration strategy is doable either. >From what I understand, the integration strategy works by cherry-picking commits onto an earlier version, which requires a git tree, and we do not use a git tree. OTOH, the packaging strategy does not work currently for the previously explained reasons. I can have a further look into that, but it will take some time before I can dedicate time to it... Anyway, thank you for your continued efforts into getting support for backports upstreamed! :-) Regards, Yann E.
