I consider it my duty to apply bug-fixes that I've patched to the Debian packages I maintain. For one thing, it gives the Debian package extra value; for another, it shows that a patch has received relatively wide testing. Regarding extra features I've implemented that Upstream is still pondering over, these I tend to incorporate but only if they affect very little code and the rest of the software can be used even if the feature turns out to be buggy. In these cases, I mark the feature as experimental in the Debian changelog. -- Andrew Stribblehill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England
