Clarifying the rules for fixing someone else’s package in wip



Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is a silly question — I’ve only recently started experimenting with packaging. Could someone clarify the policy on making changes to packages in wip maintained by others?

For example, the package wip/py-qdarkstyle contains an error in the case of its dependency name — it refers to py313-QtPy instead of py313-qtpy — which causes the package to fail to build.

Is it acceptable to update a broken package in wip that’s maintained by someone else (i.e., not pkgsrc-users%NetBSD.org@localhost) or should I try to contact the maintainer first?

Thanks in advance for your help.
