Hi list,
In general, it is a good idea to do as little patching of upstream
releases as possible. To achieve that, I've been pushing some patches
to upstream projects. Below is the status of this.
IN PROGRESS
PACKAGE PATCH SUBMITTED UPSTREAM STATUS
atk
glib
jpeg

DONE, WAITING FOR UPSTREAM RELEASE
poppler patch not needed anymore in git master
waiting for 0.18 release
DONE, PATCH REMOVED FROM OBS:
gdk-pixbuf bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640394
released 2.24
lcms2 mailed to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, 03-04-2011
released 2.2
win_iconv code.google.com/p/win-iconv/issues/detail?id=4 (and
3) released 0.0.3
xz mailed to lasse.collin@xxxxxxxxxxx, 10-05-2011
released 5.0.3
tiff http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2307
released 3.9.5
fontconfig patch not needed anymore
As you can see, there are already several packages where the patches
has been included in an upstream release and could subsequently be
removed from the OBS.
For the first four packages listed under "IN PROGRESS", the patches
have to be evaluated by us whether they should be submitted upstream.
If anyone feels able to do this, please provide the info.
Fridrich, can you look whether the mpc -noundefined patch is suitable
to submit upstream? If so, you can either submit it, or tell me, and I
will handle it.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?file=mpc-0.9-noundefined.patch&package=mingw32-mpc&project=windows%3Amingw%3Awin32&srcmd5=4ec2907972cdcdf8da720ca00589d6a0
For the other packages listed under "IN PROGRESS", I already
determined that the patches should be submitted and made a bug report
or emailed the upstream developers. But as you can see, not all
projects are responsive. If any of you know how to pull some strings
here to get things moving, that would be great.
Also, this list is far from comprehensive, it's only the packages I'm
interested in. Feel free to add more packages in need of some
attention. If the idea takes of, we should make it into a wiki page.
