[llvm-dev] questions about backport to 3.8/3.9/4.0
Thanks. That is good suggestion. I will start to work on 4.0 now. It would be good to know the 4.0.x patch release schedule and how to contribute. I found this email containing backporting timeline for 4.0.1 (already done): http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-March/111530.html>From email, it is not clear to me whether we have upcoming4.0.2 or not.

[llvm-dev] questions about backport to 3.8/3.9/4.0
I think we generally don't plan for .2 releases unless some particularly nasty bug shows up. +Tom fyi, On Sat, Jul 15, 2017 at 12:38 AM, Y Song via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote:> Thanks.

Thanks for the information. I will communicate with BPF users who want backport based on this expectation.
