How invasive ways are welcome/allowed?
For example, I use pound (a reverse proxy/URL redirector/SSL wrapper).
* unstable has 2.0
* I use 2.0.9 with my partial (listen-only) IPv6
* upstream just released 2.1
The maintainer seems to be MIA. I didn't unload my patches (IPv6, WebDAV)
into the BTS yet as upstream kept saying they'll release "tomorrow" or "in
three days from now" for a few months. The new stable upstream release got
released on Saturday, but I've been sick so I didn't port my IPv6 patch to
2.1 yet; it should be done and tested soon, though.
So, should I:
a) make a backport to 2.0; or
b) provide patches for the current upstream (2.1) only; or
c) do a complete overhaul, including unrelated issues; giving the maintainer
a tarball and svn
(Of course, asking the maintainer again is the first thing to do)
