Well, uhm, yeah. The maintainer has to understand the patch and be in agreement with the writer that it will not crash the application. Don't forget, this is Cooker. Things are allowed to crash occasionally for the betterment of the distro. That is what we are all about here, no? > examples ? How about just going through the changelog for any reasonable number of packages and you will find "patchXX removed, merged upstream". In fact, I can give you an example of a patch that _I_ contributed to perl-libwww-perl: $ rpm -q --changelog perl-libwww-perl * Tue Dec 18 2001 Fran�ois Pons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5.63-2mdk - added patch from Brian J. Murrell for HTTP POST of empty content. ... b. -- Brian J. Murrell
