## FreeBSD's Upstreams
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Anything that's in the directory `contrib`, `crypto`, `sys/contrib` or
|
||||||
|
`sys/cddl` likely has an upstream we pull from. Please do a git log --merges in
|
||||||
|
any subdirectory of these you are submitting patches for to find out the last
|
||||||
|
time we merged from upstream. If it is in the last 5 years, upstream is "active"
|
||||||
|
and you should submit your patches there and let the last few people to commit
|
||||||
|
to this file (especailly merge commits) know. If it's been more than 5 years,
|
||||||
|
upstreamm is likely inactive so please submit the patch. We can sort out if it
|
||||||
|
should go into FreeBSD or upstream.
