Hi ! I'm currently using httpd 2.2.x on a RHEL 4 and maintaining a custom RPM for my customer. As such, I came across some annoyances regarding the .spec file. Many (if not all) of these are really minor problems like code layout, code duplication, misconfiguration and so on. As you can see, not "true" bugs (as it doesn't stop httpd to work properly).
I now want to contribute back my fixes to the project, in the spirit of Free Softwares. I realized that this part of the project (RPM packages) seems old and quite untouched (base on SVN changelog, old bug reports, etc...). I may be wrong, but it looks like nobody want to do this (dirty ?) job. I can create bug reports and talk about them extensively on this mailing list. But I'm afraid that it will increase the noise. As I don't want to waste everyone's time, here is my question: do you want to see me send patches and fill bug reports, or to let me do my changes directly on the subversion repository ? I know that giving write access to an unknown person is a sensitive subject. So, I don't know if this is meaningful, but here are some proof that it's not the first time I contribute to Free Software project: http://www.ohloh.net/accounts/kevin -- Kevin Deldycke • blog: http://kevin.deldycke.com • band: http://coolcavemen.com
