Hi,

What is the procedure to get fixes backported in 4.0?

For example, the fix to this one [1] is really needed for us (it breaks development and also gettext tools).

Is there anything you guys do “automatically” or do I need to make a fix for 4.0 based on the one for 5.0 ?

No, we do back ports when they are so important that people ask. I think this is a good metrik.

What you do is to add a second issue with the title

Backport 4.0: <Original title>

and put it as the *parent* of the Pharo5 issue.
