Somebody please fork reprepro, there's a super useful bugfix in one and a super useful feature in the other but I want both.
The bugfix is the zstd decompression-cancel race condition bug and the feature is multiple versions per package but they're both super stale.
Maybe...
Maybe I can fork it...
Fork the feature one, get the diff of the commit that patches the bug and apply the diff to your fork.
Now compile and test.
I don't have a lot of experience with merging but then again, this is a great opportunity to learn.
