Thoughts? >=20 > [0]: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-analyzer/hping/fi= les In general we have always packaged upstream rather than 3rd-party variants, and tried to push changes upstream, etc. The idea being that distros are not the right place for package development. However, in some cases we do package distro variants of programs whose "canonical" upstreams are defunct, for example w3m, which is now developed within Debian. It's a matter of judgment. In this case I think we should drop the patch, since Marius did not pursue it. --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAl5VgG0ACgkQJkb6MLrK fwhJAw/9HuKtE5F0hvTFFPpeVzCmqdbe1ZAFAHiKEuoWUWFTa7ypTqn6FWRU1w0g I1fbQjfPnAzpxZYpxaaMPlD8ZH18vUlEAb1EDxT+R86yqOz1rUEJp5I3vXwAW+6t xbRhkBQT1cv2T8F6rBZishV2gqxgZHz/xsbBJuVBqCmG3eT3bcL5C8MGG/cmSThj yW9BaWoP5gXg9wpn9asRxJkeaHO/FpbDTgmjerlG8V/31eDapovfjz0Ng5RoYVV2 OQ8Lrkqauv1UyU6lKzp18MZJlS7dp+QiMk0b9NP4ioZLQvDGWmW9/HieGnUS/Xqd 28hD4ZWDYmxRGGwDH5ypyZBi/OLbLUo5eYSnfN+FK3Pgc44Onlv30NnL+Cy4QYrV h7u239gC6X3tSnApaa2nckscQx0QQ+shVFAl4f0OV6CNm/DaGUWXxNKUyJ/74K8c WwTZj97JAxz1TPOe3D5g6PALBpSQwYigxW1UNN6PlnMISla0YEkEx1DnHCPD7vw5 cNI91LtttNpagTyF0I68gL6/M9PUT12ljOrarmbL766PWia8f2/CBwLvrrRb5cgf v1EtXMOU185eZYbiPNzJmuc5wiViU9lu3H5wY6AwSnKutx60Xc92JBpLvX3jLjTM fijmxfiKz7yt9xumws5gm9kTmUq2JAgAyoH9zUcO0gHw94Ha4MA= =WwNh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HlL+5n6rz5pIUxbD--
