I reported a bug in the LSI RAID firmware/kernel code which required 100s of servers to observe. They went back and forth with me a few times about the fix, presumably because they couldn't make the bug happen quickly on a server or two in their lab. -- greg ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What came to mind though was, perhaps, look at the bug reports on centos and red hat, find some in your field of expertise and see if you can solve them.

I would go here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi?format=advanced Then search Red Hat Enterprise Linux (5, 6 or 7), which is upstream for CentOS, pick some components you're interested in and see what there is. Find something you think you can help with and start poking around. If you think you have a patch or fix, post to the bug and see what people say. For CentOS specific bugs; https://bugs.centos.org/my_view_page.php Choose the project you're interested in from the drop-down list on the top-right of the page, click 'View Issues' and start seeing what grabs your interest.

In my experience, good. They have an internal QA process that fixes have to run through, but they've always been happy to get the solution from anywhere. (I've done this for the HA stack, not sure how other teams compare). -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I do not know about core but with packages in EPEL (very important to CentOS) I have found that the few times I have submit a patch, the maintainer is usually very communicative and unless my fix is problematic (happens) it usually is applied within a few weeks. I've never submitted a patch to a core package though. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
