|
||
project. Used in connection with software that is distributed both in its
|
||
original source form and in derived, adapted versions through a
|
||
distribution (like the Debian version of Linux or one of the BSD ports)
|
||
that has component maintainers for each of their parts. When a component
|
||
maintainer receives a bug report or patch, he may choose to retain the
|
||
patch as a porting tweak to the distribution's derivative of the project,
|
||
or to pass it upstream to the project's maintainer.
