Hi everyone,

I have a few popular packages I would be interested in moving to and maintaining in [community]. However, I recall reading somewhere that AUR software that includes a patch is typically not accepted in community until the upstream developers fix/merge the patches into the software and release it. Is this correct, or am I being misled?

Thanks, Brad

usually we accept patches that fixes compilation issues or functionally if the patches are accepted upstream. we don't accept patches that extends the applications and haven't been accepted upstream -- Ionuț
