The Skara config file allows a repo to set a fix version per branch, and also allows a list of altfixversion per branch. It would be useful for the branch to take a regex pattern for both fields, and for the list of fix versions for altfixversion to also take a regex pattern.

For the JDK, it would mean that the altfixversions would simplify to the following, which wouldn't have to be updated every six months.

    "altfixversions": {
        "master": ["^[0-9]+$"],
    },

For JavaFX, which uses CPU stabilization branches, it would allow the following, which also wouldn't need to be periodically updated:


    "fixversions": {
        "master": "jdk-cpu",
        "^jfx[0-9]+-cpu-[0-9]+$": "jdk-cpu",
    },
    "altfixversions": {
        "master": ["^openjfx[0-9]+$"],
        "^jfx[0-9]+-cpu-[0-9]+$": ["^openjfx[0-9]+$"],
    },
