[opensuse] Providing corrections for oss RPMs (cyrus-imapd)
The latest cyrus imapd rpm at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail has a serious bug that causes local mail delivery using cyrus deliver to fail, with a segfault in lmtpunix. I have put a patch together (from googling and plagiarizing the work of others better than me) and put together a new RPM with this patch. How does one go about submitting it to the original maintainer or somehow make the corrections available to the community? Thanks in advance for any help, --Moby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

One way is creating a bugzilla and writing there the necessary info for correcting the problem, or a link to the explanation. Another one is using the OBS, but I'll let others explain the procedure. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

branch package, add patch, verify that it builds and installs (and fixes the bug after install), submit request back to original package.
