@Heewa, a general rule in Debian/Ubuntu is to always fix things in upstream first before patching downstream (as long as it’s not a distro- specific patch or packaging bug). This makes it easier for maintainers to cherry-pick fixes or updating to newer versions.
Debian does not really like to diverge from upstream nor apply local patches not approved by upstream, exceptions are for things that are critical, violate the Debian guidelines or don’t integrate well in the Debian distro, and Ubuntu follows that too for things that seem more appropriate to the Ubuntu developers and fit more to the Ubuntu project. Some people in the GNOME community might tell you differently especially if they are from other distros than Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885346 Title: gnome-shell-calendar-server leaks GBs of memory every few days Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in gnome-shell package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: It's been happening repeatedly over the last maybe week? I have to manually kill it about once a day, when I start to feel everything slow down as the OS starts to swap. Actually, I tracked down and fixed a few leaks in the code, and it looks stable so far. I'll submit a patch soon, as well as send the fix upstream to Gnome.
