What's the recommended course in the meantime while waiting for patches to
go through upstream?
I'm not entirely sure, but I've put up a README file for the testing
branch that gives a proposed process:
http://gitorious.org/statusnet/mainline/blobs/testing/extlib/README
Kind of in ascending order of urgency:
1. Report the bug, work around it, then integrate the release version
when it comes out.
2. If a patch is accepted but not yet released, apply the patch.
3. If the patch is not accepted because the project is unmaintained,
adopt it and release changes.
4. If the project cannot be adopted, or if upstream refuses to
integrate absolutely necessary changes, do a principled fork in a
way that doesn't interfere with other software.
Does that sound about right?
