Hi Mario,

where do you get stuck? Do you get to the point where you click 'Target 
to series'? You should be able to choose between 6.1 and 7.0 in the next 
screen. Note that you can only do so when you view the bug in the 
backports project. That is the difference between

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ocb-addons/+bug/949078

and

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/949078

After you selected the backports project using the 'Also affects 
project' link, the url changes accordingly so you should be able to 
choose a series at that moment.

By the way I did not get any notifications of bugs assigned to the 
backports projects in the last couple of hours so it may be the case 
that you ended up with the wrong project.

Well, that is an interesting point. For releases still supported by SA 
that is a definite yes, but 6.1 is practically unsupported by now. Apart 
from the occasional OPW, no changes are committed anymore against its 
branches. Even the nightly synchronization of translations has already 
stopped for two of the three projects.

Now it is either the case that the bug still exists in 7.0/trunk, or 
else it has been fixed in the meantime. In the former case you should 
probably test if the fix works against the newer release and propose 
against *that* official branch. In the latter case, the fix you propose 
to backports should ideally reflect the changes that constitute the fix 
in the newer release, at least if they are atomic (i.e. not a big 
refactoring).

So this is only an issue if the fix for 6.1 does not apply to 7.0 or if 
the piece of code that contains the problem has been refactored out. I 
am not sure what the use would be of an MP against an official but by 
now unsupported branch in that case, to be honest.

Cheers,
Stefan.
