How do I tell which release a patch targets? Is it purely based on whether it's a bug fix (current release) vs. a new change (next release), or is there a more specific rule I should follow? That is exactly what it is based on. > 2. For versioning the split series, should the bug fix patch restart at v1, and the rest of the series continue at v7? Or should I keep them sequential (bug fix as v7, next-release patches as v8)? two separate series, so yes, split it that way should be fine. thanks, greg k-h
