#. For dot releases all patches must mantain both API and ABI compatibility with
the previous major release. Only bugfixes will be accepted.
Merging Patches
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``utils/release/merge.sh`` script can be used to merge individual revisions
into any one of the llvm projects. To merge revision ``$N`` into project
``$PROJ``, do:
#. ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/$PROJ/branches/release_XX
$PROJ.src``
#. ``$PROJ.src/utils/release/merge.sh --proj $PROJ --rev $N``
#. Run regression tests.
#. ``cd $PROJ.src``. Run the ``svn commit`` command printed out by ``merge.sh``
in step 2.
