I'm not a debian developer, however I sent some patches in the past for the Debian project. Open a bug on the BTS describing the issue (you can use reportbug). Check in salsa.debian.org if the project is there, if it is , you need to create an account , create a patch using the quilt system and do an MR inside of that patch. mention in the MR that you are fixing bug X If it's not on salsa, get the source that exist in debian , and create quilt pactch and send it to the mailing list that is related to that project. https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt[1] it might take some time that the maintainer would reply , so asking around over IRC iat OFTC might help to find how to reach to the person correctly. >From experience it's better to push changes first to the upstream and only >then update Debian with the updated version , that way other distributions >would enjoy these features too. p.s. it might be a problem to send patches to the Debian project post Debian Project Leader actions in recent months. > https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/xarclock-hebrew > https://github.com/Boruch-Baum/xarclock-hebrew/releases/tag/v1.0 > > A modern QT version of this would be fun, but I don't know QT > programming. > > -- > hkp://keys.gnupg.net > CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 > _______________________________________________ > Linux-il mailing list -- linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il > To unsubscribe send an email to linux-il-le...@cs.huji.ac.il > -------- [1] https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt
