I'm looking at the patches SuSE applies to OpenLDAP, and it would be
nice to have some engagement from SuSE on kicking some of these back,
I'm sometimes trying to push them to coordinate with upstream. Problem is
that SLE customer bugs in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org are most times
locked. (I miss Ralf working on that.)
particularly something like 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch, which it
appears is to address ITS#8759. Do you know what we need to do on our
end to encourage SuSE to contribute back to the community?
In particular the fight regarding 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch was
pretty hard. Basically the private e-mail exchange after their OBS
request between Howard Chu and SUSE devs faded out without any clear
result.
To summarize Howard's statements:
In the best case the patch does nothing.
Especially the SUSE customer did not run a clean test environment for
reliably reproducing the issue.
