Howdy All,
This will (hopefully) be my first time submitting a merge request to an
existing package (p4) within the AUR. The trouble I am having, it that
it is unclear, for me, how this process should work.
Reading the wiki page on this[1] mentions that it can be done. I have a
local copy of the updated PKGBUILD file, verified that it works via
makepkg --source and installs correctly via pacman. I have followed the
Arch Package Standards[2] and everything looks to be in order.
The trouble I am having is _how_ to submit the request via the AUR
website. The wiki briefly alludes that I should:
1) Submit my version of the changes as a *new* package. For example:
upload p4-abrenner as a new package on the submit page[3]
2) Then go ahead to the original package page, p4, and select the
File Request link[4]?
Is this correct? If not, what fundamental concept am I missing?
Thank you in advanced for your help,
-Adam
