- pavel_lishin 15y agoYes, but not necessarily easily integrated into the next release. You can fix it for yourself, but if the project isn't very well maintained, or if the maintainer rejects your patch, etc., etc...
- dexen 15y agoThat's why some distros roll packages with bugfix patches applied even before upstream maintainers include those in official releases. Even better, if a particular bug is a show-stopper at your organization, you can build fixed package and deploy it to your local package repository on a short notice; machines can then obtain the update automagically.
