I have a patch for nasm which I'd like to get into openSUSEs version of nasm - it's really annoying when I forget I have a local version of nasm, and accidentally build on a target system with the vanilla nasm.
I know I can easily open a bug report and probably get this patch in that way, but I was thinking that I might as well skip all of that and just "do it".
I probably haven't looked in the right places, but I couldn't find a HOWTO that explains to me how to get from e.g. my local patch to a published openSUSE update. Is there such a HOWTO out there?
Update or Factory?
Factory I suppose - it's hardly a security bug.
For updates this one is relevant: http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Maintenance
For Factory the process is to submitreq your change to the devel project of nasm <devel project="devel:tools:compiler" package="nasm"/>
I've read those two lines a couple of times, and I still don't know where to start :-(
Besides, my patch was accepted upstream more than a year ago, so the nasm devel project seems to a little shorthanded - part of why I thought I might as well do it myself.
I blogged some time ago with an example: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/06/20/opensuse-factory-fixing-packages/ The build service documentation contains more details e.g. at: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Collaboration Btw. check also: http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/09/13/build-service-cheat-sheet/ If you want help directly, please ask on the opensuse-packaging mailing list or on the #opensuse-buildservice IRC channel, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
