The problem is that as specified, _every_ fix requires also setting up builds in the auto-tester (regardless of who does it). That should be once per maintained version. Deleting and recreating is a waste of everyone's time.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, makes sense in the context of the autotester since it requires specifying the branches to test in `server/add/github-post.ghtml` (if I'm understanding how it works properly). I was thinking it might be as easy as just having the autotester test every branch on D-P-L (or just release and hotfix only if they are present). It doesn't look like how it works is very adaptable to that type of setup though.</div>

It's not just me that's affected. Anyone who wants to test releases as they're being built has to carefully track what branch to use when, which is tedious and a waste of time.<br>

Also, what if we decide to patch two past releases, does that happen serially, using the release branch name for each of the versions one at a time? Also stupid and a waste of time.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It seems incredibly unlikely this would ever happen. Like I said though, we can call the branches whatever and not delete them if that makes it easier for you. This aspect isn't important to how it all works.</div>

Should I continue or is it obvious now?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't understand why you are always so hostile in your correspondences.</div></div></div></div>
