Thanks for this work. The problem is however that we want to make use of so
called vendor branches. With the method you did (AFAIU), you would
overwrite changes that might have been done for the Haiku version. I have
emailed Jérôme for a HowTo with regards to updating such stuff. I think it
would be beneficial to put that somewhere among our developer docs.
Best regards,
