Guess it depends on who makes that statement. We will see what the Ginkgo people have to say. > b) upstream (so far) refuses to apply it for silly reasons They have not refused but indicated implied that larger patches have a lower chance of getting in for the obvious reasons. The patch could do some conflicting stuff, break stuff, add new features etc. All reasonable. I will wait for the Gingko guy to reply and ask them to talk to the wx guys (submit their patch to the wx trac) . If that works out great, if not they could be asked to talk to the Debian package maintainers. > c) the patch has the smallest possible impact This is best left to a conversation between the involved parties.
