we can't talk about social change unless we have a conversation about philanthropy, which is the upstream driver of who's doing what. Who's getting paid for social change work? How are they funded? Who's working for that organization, the efficacy of that organization, etc., etc..

It's a fork of Memery gem. Original Memery uses prepend Module.new with memoized methods, not touching original ones. This approach has advantages, but also has problems, see discussion here: tycooon#1

(If you are a representative of an upstream for which there exists an image and you would like to get involved, please see the Maintainership section below!)

we strive to heed upstream's recommendations on how they intend for their software to be consumed.

Enable ActiveRecord unsigned integers to use 8 bytes instead of 4. This fixes the ActiveModel::RangeError problem where AR models with perfectly fine 8 bytes primary keys are taken for ActiveModel::Type::Integer with a default limit of 4 bytes.

Version bumps and security fixes should be attended to in a timely manner.

If you do not represent upstream and upstream becomes interested in maintaining the image, steps should be taken to ensure a smooth transition of image maintainership over to upstream.

Downstream: In IT, "downstream" refers to the transmission of data to an end user or toward an end user from a central server or point of origin. This is in contrast to upstream transmissions, which move from the end user to the central repository. The terms "uploads" and "downloads" are often used to refer to upstream and downstream ...

Rails 7 supports Postgres enums natively (more info)

This is no different from other popular libraries or frameworks making huge architectural changes (think React 16.8 with hooks or Python 3). The longer you wait to make the switch, the more painful it will be for your project when you finally do. And in the meantime, you’ll be missing out on valuable improvements to a fundamental part of the workflow of every single project you work on.

Now, if you also want deskopen to pass through any command-line parameters, you can instead use this slightly-modified version: #!/bin/sh desktop_file=$1 shift `grep '^Exec' "${desktop_file}" | sed 's/^Exec=//' | sed 's/%.//'` "$@" &

A solution is almost indicated in the question: hinder xdg-open from choosing exo-open. A brute-force approach is to copy /usr/bin/xdg-open to /usr/local/bin (/usr/local/bin is earlier in PATH unless PATH has been modified) and to patch it to use open_generic instead of exo_open (unlike the XFCE4-specific exo-open, open_generic does honor xdg mime types)

For one, anyone using this module would automatically benefit from any future performance improvements without having to do anything themselves.

Keeping bootstrap-sass in sync with upstream changes from Bootstrap used to be an error prone and time consuming manual process. With Bootstrap 3 we have introduced a converter that automates this.

Fork rails, add github.com/georgebrock/rails as a remote, merge this branch into rails/4.0.2 (the tag), and then use your fork of Rails: gem 'rails', github: 'yourusername/rails'

Hey, Mint, team! Switch your upstream to Devuan. Because every week, I'm thinking about switching directly there myself...

No more waiting around for pull requests to be merged and published. No more forking repos just to fix that one tiny thing preventing your app from working.

You can also see this repo: default-passive-events.

This is not an MDC Web component. It is an addition that SMUI provides.

Problem is, everyone's busy, so it can be days or even weeks before even a small PR is merged. So I'm stashing my stuff here as I write it. I'll still try to keep the PRs in motion, to gradually get some of this merged.

In particular, I, quite accidentally, became a maintainer of ActsAsTaggableOn, a Rails tagging engine, after bumping a long-stale, minor, pull-request I had written.

in order to track the always-improving upstream project, we continuously rebase our patches on top of the upstream master

Our hope is that once a formal specification for these extensions is settled, this patchset can be used as a base to upstream the changes in the original project.

Automattic uses WordPress to power WordPress.com, and it contributes back code and time to the WordPress project. It is a symbiotic relationship. It isn’t accurate to say that WordPress is Automattic’s product, or that WordPress came from Automattic. Indeed, the opposite is true — Automattic came from WordPress, and Automattic (through WordPress.com) exists as part of the vast WordPress community and ecosystem.

This version of Field is a thin wrapper over the official Field component, and the only Field API that this library uses/overrides is the field-level validate prop, so even if you are using this library's Field component, you will still get improvements as features are added to the React Final Form library in the future.

I've forked the project and made a substantial extension. I think is ready to merge back. But (appropriately) its the project owner who gets to make that call not me. And it's now been several weeks without reply.

select proprietary or out-of-tree modules (ex. vitualbox, nvidia, fglrx, bcmwl, etc.)
