If a package I personally used was developed like this, I'd fork it and ask my distro maintainers to point their repo at my fork with less bugs.

- rushikesh98 4y agoWill you port all subsequent patches to the parent repo to your fork? And test them?
- nyanpasu64 4y agoFor simple patches on my end, I'd port them forwards. For complex patches, I might hard-fork development and find like-minded people to send patches to me instead of the original upstream. Or if the codebase or changes are too complex to work effectively with, I'd abandon the project and treat it as radioactive and failing to satisfy my requirements (or even be correct).
