Hello, I've found this project: https://github.com/lanceshelton/irqstat I'm interested in using and doing development on it. In fact, I have my fork ( https://github.com/dfaggioli/irqstat ) and I've sent a pull request ( https://github.com/lanceshelton/irqstat/pull/5 ). The maintainer, though, is not responding (I'm trying other means to contact him, but no luck so far). Now, given all this as a context, I'd like to package it (which I'm trying to, here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:dfaggioli:perf/irqstat ). Of course, I'd like the package to have my modifications. And, eventually, the question: what's considered best (from the technical, legal, best practices, etc, point of views), in these cases? Do I use my fork as the source of the package (what I'm doing right now, but it's just a first test)? Or do I fetch the "upstream" branch and add my modifications as patches? The latter seems preferable, and is feasible for now (I have 7 patches). But what if I continue developing on it, but the official upstream keeps being non-responsive, and the number of patches I need to carry grows and grows?
