Hi,
I would like to propose a minor (yet important) change in one of the Fedora packages configuration (a SPEC file and/or a patch). Is it possible to create (something like) a pull request which could be reviewed by the maintainer in some convenient way (*) and optionally merged? Or the only way is to create a patch and put it into a Buzilla ticket?
We have talked about such a frontend to pkgs.fedoraproject.org (most likely reusing code from pagure.io), but we haven't imemented anything yet.
(*) - a given package repo could be forked and published to GitHub with a change in a separate branch. The new repo could be added locally by a maintainer (as a new remote Git repository) and that new branch could be merge into master and pushed to Fedora repository. Nevertheless it requires some knowledge about Git and a few manual Git commands to execute)
And adds a dependence on github to some degree.
So, for now, it's get your change upstream (if it's something upstream could take) and it will trickle down to Fedora repos, or use a bugzilla bug and attachment I am afraid.
I do like the idea of having PR's for packages, it would really help in some cases.
