Wouldn't that end up creating quite a mess? Some of the OS packagers will roll patches for things that break their specific system tests into their pre-compiled packages without telling us directly, yes. Usually though it's some patch we've already done that they're just backporting to an older version that they consider stable. } Shouldn't they at least offer a patch to you so that it might become } official everywhere? It seems both rude and irresponsible. Technically they are supposed to offer the patch to us, although zsh's license is not as clingy that way as the GNU license for example. In RedHat's case the patches are probably in the .src.rpm bundle and we could download and extract them if we wanted, I'm just trying to avoid going through that if someone else already knows what's going on.
