XF 2.2 ACP Patch upgrade for old version (2.2.9)

I know 2.2.9 is an old version.

I already had issues with manually patching it before, which led to many issues, so I had to revert it. As it was manually patched, I knew which files were changed and I made backup of them before.

Explanation why new patch didn't work was, it's using new methods, developed later, and it won't be fixed in a way that will work with the old version methods.

And, now we have patching done through ACP. It's nice, but, it also means I don't know which files are changed, I can't save them before upgrade to revert it if something goes wrong.

My question is, is patch 2.2.9 Patch 2 (and later) safe to apply, even on this old version? Does it respect old methods used originally for this version?

I know I can backup, and that I should backup before, but now I'm not sure if patches will work safely with old versions.

Yes that's the entire point :)

The entire scenario you just described, this cumulative security update approach removes all of that (mostly, patching many versions is difficult).

If you have problems, let us know.

So, you do use some different method of patching, I guess?

I opened this thread, where I received answer it's too old to bother, and I didn't received any answer in this thread, where I had to revert everything, as it just didn't work.

I don't try to be PITA, it's just I'd like to know if it will still work afterwards, and if it won't, is there some easy solution, like revert patch button (till it's fixed).

I do understand that patching so many version, especially old versions is not an easy task.
