<mcnicholls> lol me too, would love to get it fixed and want to learn about fixing bugs
<mcnicholls> so if i use that patch and produce a debdiff, do you think i could get it included?
<imbrandon> should be able to as long as you follow the process
<imbrandon> its a bug only fix
<mcnicholls> so once i have a debdiff that i attach to the report, i read i just add the sponorship group and someone should upload it? anything else i need to do?
<imbrandon> i'm not sure with the exact process this cycle, but that sounds right
<mcnicholls> ok thanks
<mcnicholls> i shall attempt to get the diff, but am sure i shall be back for more help
<imbrandon> sure thing :)
<imbrandon> ok time to kill off this screen session, bbiab
<slytherin> mcnicholls: yes, that is how sponsorship works
<mcnicholls> one question i do have now though, i know you can run a script to submit patches and bug reports to debian. should i do this or would you normally wait for upstream to come down?
<slytherin> mcnicholls: Once the patch is accepted in Ubuntu, you can forward it to Debian if you want.
<mcnicholls> suppose it is up to them deb maintainer to decide if it is worth having
<mcnicholls> i was just wondering if i should run the submittodebian script once i have my patch. I suppose i would wait till ubuntu accept it like you say
<mcnicholls> if i am generating a patched package from someone elses source patch, should i give them credit in the change log somehow?
<a|wen> mcnicholls: allways a good idea to give credit to the original author
<mcnicholls> a|wen: yeah i thought so. any particular recommended way of putting this in the changelog?
<a|wen> mcnicholls: not really... you can just append an "Original patch by...", "Patch taken from..." or "Thanks to..." at the end of the line about adding the patch
<mcnicholl
< mcnicholls > lol me too, would love to get it fixed and desire to determine about fixing bugs
