Dear Deva,
	If upstream (ie. the original author) is still active, you
really should send them your patches to their code. So in future, they
won't inadvertently duplicate the work you have already done. It will
also give him/her the chance to make suggestions before you distribute
a program that may operate differently from the one they original
released. It'll also make the next package release easier since you
won't have to figure out how to get your code working again if
upstream changes the structure of his source code.

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
