Hi, (somewhat dormant) RT maintainer here. Thanks Paul, that's spot on. We have in the distant past applied those sort of patches before they hit RT upstream, but it's definitely not ideal, and it really depends on the patch. However, Tobias, I don't see any patch that needs to be applied in <https://metacpan.org/release/BPS/RT-Extension-ResetPassword-1.12/source/README> - Debian already has RT 5.0.3 (>= 5.0.2)? Let's continue the discussion on pkg-request-tracker-maintain...@alioth-lists.debian.net (CCed). Cheers Dominic
