Hello All,
I'm curious to know if there's a preferred method for pushing features/patches to packages upstream in the distribution. I created a feature/bug request in bugzilla to which the response was basically "patches are welcome". So I patched and tested this feature to the app and posted the patches to the bugzilla ticket and nothing, no response or followups. That's fine, i know people are busy and my request may not be of much importance to others, but I do feel this feature is valuable and it's availability will be a dependency on another packaging modification request I plan on creating.
At this point would I be better served by branching the package in OBS, applying my patches, and creating an SR or just wait for the things to work there way through bugzilla? While I'd like to see this pushed out to all supported distro releases I realize this may not be an option, but with the 12.2 RC around the corner I'd be happy with it making that release.
Thanks! -- Later, Darin Hi I normally branch, push patches upstream and reference in the spec file etc as required here; http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Patches_guidelines
