In response to the original question -- I'd suggest that if there's a good reason for wanting to ship a newer version, and if you've made a genuine attempt to contact the maintainer, there's no reason not to go ahead and update it. I would be very disappointed in any maintainer who got 'territorial' about his/her packages for purely emotional reasons, rather than real technical objections to your changes. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
