When I started trying to help improving (Open)SUSE, the advice I got was that the best way to submit a patch was to open a Bugzilla entry describing the problem the patch was going to solve, and attach the proposed patch to it. Is that no longer true, and is it now acceptable to send personal mail to the packager of the package the file to be patched happens to be distributed in?
I think opening a bugreport and proposing a patch is still the way to go. But of course someone at openSUSE/Novell should confirm. Maybe we (community) can write a sort of how-to on the wiki to explain how to submit a patch, if not there already once a procedure is defined.
How can I build the standard openSUSE package hwinfo myself and get my version included instead of the current one?
To have your patch in the official package, it must be approved by some "insider", of course.
Ok. So ISDN in openSUSE dies. SuSE was once the distribution of choice for ISDN users. I guess that time is over.
I would say there is a lower number of users, so probably priorities changed. However, I agree with you it should not be so hard to get a working patch included. P.S. We are working on the creation of a community testing team (see thread on this ML). Why don't you take part to it? There will be a discussion to set it up during the openSUSE community week.
