Hi all,
I'm currently looking into the bug #3800 (http://sourceforge.net/p/phpmyadmin/bugs/3800/). The bug is reported to be in 3.5.6 version and while going through the wiki page on GIT (http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/Git#Working_with_branches) I noticed that the fix should go into some QA branch. However seeing that version 4.0 is in beta, I'd like to know whether the fix should still go to the QA branch. Will there be any more releases on 3.5 branch?
Hi Kasun,
There will probably be another 3.5.* release in the future, so please fix the bug. It is also present in current master, so it is certainly useful to fix it.
Because it is a bug in the 3.5.* series, you should work on branch QA_3_5 :
1. clone phpMyAdmin on Github 2. checkout branch QA_3_5 of your cloned repo 3. branch from the QA_3_5 branch for fixing this bug (fe. name it bug_3800) 4. create your patch and commit it to this branch (bug_3800) 5. push this branch (bug_3800) to your cloned repo 6. create a pull request from your branch (bug_3800) to phpmyadmin/QA_3_5
If your patch applies to current master as well, it will be merged by the person reviewing your commit, or you will be asked to create a seperate patch for master in case the patch cannot easily be applied to master.
I hope this helps you.
