RFC: Repository for backporting useful features from 3.5?

I wondered whether backporting new high-level features from one version to older versions would be of use or not. When i say high-level i am speaking about datatypes, operators, pretty much anything that fits into an extension. The maintenance on this would not be high because the files would almost identical to the main files apart from a few minor path changes.

This could be on pubsvn.

Anyone interested?

I think this would be an immensely helpful tool for the community.

Also try the tarball feature in websvn, it may help too (upgraded to websvn 1.61 a few minutes ago)

Unfortunately, there are no speed increases for the huge nextgen repo with teh latest websvn

Paul, I added a new backports directory. Sorry for polluting the directory structure again ;)

The tarball feature is lovely. Here is the tarball link for the ezmultioption:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/websvn/dl.php?repname=community&path=%2Fbackports%2F3.5+to+3.4%2Fextension%2Fezmultioption%2F&rev=0&isdir=1

Though im sure the ez.no parser will insert a rogue semi-colon into that link. Yip. Needs this bug to be fixed: http://ez.no/community/bug_reports/long_urls_have_inserted_characters_at_ez_no
