thanks for replies, unfortunately there are many patches that fix freezes, crashes, other major bugs and recent hardware support. also upstream at the moment does not have git (it will only have it from the next version barring unforeseen events) and this makes it even more complicated and time-consuming to extract parts from the changes between 5.01 and 5.31b. Not to mention the time to document everything, test etc...
I don't have much time and I'm already too stressed at work. unfortunately I don't want to risk anything worse than what I had done with SRU of a few small nemo fixes that I had already tested and used for a long time in production and I wanted to do an official build but this took a long time to reach :(
sorry for my bad english
