The best is always to convince upstream to take your patch. Did you talk to them? Why are they not merging in the patches? For some packages I maintain, most of the differences are packaging related, and I try to convince upstream to use a packaging/fedora/ directory, so I can give them the updates to sync. (and I do the same for those packages I am actually upstream for, such as openswan and xl2tpd) Paul -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
