There are 34 patches to the upstream 6.2 tarball in the fedora (aka redhat) packaging repo,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/am-utils.git Of these, 18 start with the line "commit XXXXX" where XXXX is a git commit ID from the upstream git repo for a commit done on the upstream mainline post-6.2. Of the remaining 16, all but four are already present in the upstream mainline post-6.2. These are the last four (4) listed in the am-utils.spec file: Patch31: am-utils-6.2-use-linux-libtirpc-if-present.patch Patch32: am-utils-6.2-fix-compiler-assignment-warning-due-to-libtirpc.patch Patch33: am-utils-6.2-fix-logical-not-comparison-in-get_ldap_timestamp.patch Patch34: am-utils-6.2-fix-umount-to-mount-race.patch I'm going to push the repo I made with all the above to the existing but empty am-utils collab-maint repo. There are tags patches-fedora-6.2.0-ported-ad416c86 (the above four fedora patches, applied to the tip of the upstream main) patches-fedora-6.2.0 (all fedora patches, applied to the commit from which the upstream 6.2 tarball was built) tarball_6.2_made_here (the commit on which upstream tarball 6.2 was built) tarball_6.2 (a snapshot containing precisely the upstream 6.2 tarball) and branches upstream-master for the master branch of the upstream repo, and master for the debian packaging, which is rooted in an import of all the available Debian history. The fedora packaging repo also contains some support files for systemd and such, which should probably be merged into the Debian package. I'm extending debian/README.source to discuss the above, instead of just giving a pointer to quilt (which should be removed when the packaging is updated).
