It depends, Dag Wieers had a very good guide on when to do that, you should check it out. > If you suggest I take this off list and communicate via private > channels - I just don't feel like that is very in sync with the open > source philosophy. Where did you read that from? I suggested to submit patches to this list and for John in particular. And to wait for approval before injecting packages (which even required syntax changes in config files). If upstream rejects your submission, you can always diagree with upstream and do your own stuff, fork, package the fork and whatever, but in this case, you forked before even giving a chance to discussion with upstream. My suggestion is the following: Send in patches for review against the svn trunk, and make sure it still builds on older platforms. Or if you can't test it, ask others to lend a hand in testing. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
