hi all, i'm fairly new to openbsd. and i've run into the following problem, where i want to hack a project (most recently trying to fix a possible issue with i3status), but building the from the git source tree fails.
now, in the specific case, i'm trying to build a version that, also exists in ports, so we know it can be built on openbsd; and i presume the various patches included with the port are what makes it work. i could of course try to apply those patches and fix my issue. but then when i submit a PR upstream i'd have to remove them again. that seems cumbersome, expecially if done repeatedly. so what is the best practice in this situation? should i just upstream the ports patches? thanks. -- cheers, björn
