They open a ticket. I assign that ticket to people based on their FES Resumes If you're a provenpackager, Go ahead and push those fixes directly to the package. These are typically release bumps and rebuilds for broken deps (they aren't generally re-architecture of a package which should be up to the package owner). Since the request comes from FESCo, I've usually just tried to do it. If I'm going to cross into a territory where I think the packager is going to be upset by what I've done (IE: to fix a broken dep I need to change a compile time option...) Usually I contact the packager first and explain what I'm up to and why. Generally I've found they prefer to do that work themselves but I always offer to help. Then close the ticket and move on. That's the basics. -Mike -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
