Usually most packagers will apply the patch and submit an update for Fedora. If it's urgent for RHEL or SUSE, you should also contact your paid support representative there and make a request that they release an errata update. That said, for applying a patch to the source locally, you probably want to install the 'fedora-packager' package and then clone the net-snmp build tree. fedpkg clone net-snmp Then you can modify the spec file in that directory, have it apply your patch and then run fedpkg local which will build the package locally. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlE3TcgACgkQeiVVYja6o6PfxwCgoMiVpk/YbjN0pnKkbyK1RY+o 2+kAoKbucC2eE8M0dRj+jWsndiStIAMh =GCSE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
