Hello everyone,
I am an old-timer in Debian and Ubuntu and have uploaded and maintained packages there. I've come across an issue in a package that I use that affects 32-bit platforms such as armv7 but not 64-bit platforms. I've already analysed the problem and applied a fix, compiled the package locally and I'm happy. But I'd like to get the fix into armbian as well so others will not run into this fairly serious problem (for the package in question, it is essentially useless at the moment in noble). I looked through the various github repositories but was unable to see how to apply a patch to a userland package and have it published. Given that armbian systems seem to pull their packages from ports.ubuntu.com, is it that armbian does no patching of their own to packages but instead relies on Ubuntu and Debian to land their fixes? If that's the case, I've already started the process but I'd like to know if there is an armbian-specific way of fixing userland as well.
Regards
