[Mono-dev] SetThreadPriority patch for mono-3.2.8

[Alexander Köplinger]

I of course meant a PR against master. Older branches are generally never touched, except maybe if something serious happens like a big security hole.

      There is
          a PR that also claims to implement SetThreadPriority (https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/1272),
          but it has many other unrelated changes, so not in a state to
          be merged.

        From a quick
          look, your patch seems to be much more focused and thus more
          likely to get merged. Can you open a pull request on GitHub?

    Hi,

    

    Could somebody possibly help me understand the philosophy behind
    patching older releases as I have been wondering about this. 

    

    For example would this patch against 3.2.8 be applied against the
    mono-3.2.8-branch? Or is master only ever updated?

    

    If the branch is updated would the installers for Mono 3.2.8 be
    updated and if they would be updated then how would the versioning
    change?

    

    Thanks!

    

    Alex
