I'll rebuild my openembedded tree, so I'll be able to maintain gsmtool
and also use roberts additions.

I think, I did it the wrong way: I fixed&patched gsmtool, used it for half
a year so i was sure it works. then I added my patch to the buglist.

but on the other hand, i think you opie-admins dont's want to add
one patch after the other.

=> how should it be done?
glue patch on bug-ticket and wait for people to try,
or ask opie-admins to put it in cvs, and after a bug report, do it again?

holger, HOW is this done?
I made (for me) a .bb with a patch against the current cvs, but this would
bloat the openembedded repository. right?
Should a make a .bb targetting a certain cvsdate?
Or should I wait with a .bb until the next opie release?
Is it ok to update my .bb with a cvsdate at every cvs-checkin?

What's then the policy on touching other maintainers applications?
Currently, I wouldn't dare to change other's files.

E.g. I have a simple addressbook-integration for gsmtool, should I mail
the maintainer, the list or add it myself with #ifdefs?
