[Koha-devel] Suggestion for OPAC theme bug fix patches

Hi,

If you're writing a patch that fixes a bug with an OPAC template file,
you'll need to at least touch the Bootstrap theme, but you may also
want to touch the prog theme if you think the fix should be backported
back to 3.12.x or earlier.

Here's my suggestion: if you do that, please put your prog and
Bootstrap template changes in separate patches.  That way, it will be
easier for the RMaints for 3.12.x, 3.10.x, and 3.8.x to cherry-pick
the appropriate patches without having to manually disentangle out the
Bootstrap theme bits that don't apply.  This, in turn, will likely
increase the chance of your bugfix being backported.

Regards,

Galen
