from the Meta and its priority decreased to *normal*. Debugging can continue,
but on trunk.
Merge Requests
--------------
You can use any of the following methods to request that a revision from trunk
be merged into a release branch:
#. Use the ``utils/release/merge-request.sh`` script which will automatically
file a bug_ requesting that the patch be merged. e.g. To request revision
12345 be merged into the branch for the 5.0.1 release:
``llvm.src/utils/release/merge-request.sh -stable-version 5.0 -r 12345 -user bugzilla@example.com``
#. Manually file a bug_ with the subject: "Merge r12345 into the X.Y branch",
enter the commit(s) that you want merged in the "Fixed by Commit(s)" and mark
it as a blocker of the current release bug. Release bugs are given aliases
in the form of release-x.y.z, so to mark a bug as a blocker for the 5.0.1
release, just enter release-5.0.1 in the "Blocks" field.
#. Reply to the commit email on llvm-commits for the revision to merge and cc
the release manager.
