Occasionally when I’m perusing Fedora’s package database, I’ll notice an error in a package’s metadata. For example, when running dnf info libmodulemd
, I get the following output:
Name : libmodulemd
Version : 2.14.0
Release : 1.fc35
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 719 k
Source : libmodulemd-2.14.0-1.fc35.src.rpm
Repository : @System
From repo : updates
Summary : Module metadata manipulation library
URL : https://github.com/fedora-modularity/libmodulemd
License : MIT
Description : C library for manipulating module metadata files.
: See https://github.com/fedora-modularity/libmodulemd/blob/master/README.md for
: more details.
When I initially attempted to follow the included link to the GitHub repo, however, I discovered that the default branch for libmodulemd had been changed from master
to main
, and that the included link was not valid anymore.
For somebody relatively new to the Fedora community, what would be the appropriate way to submit a request to fix this? Is this something that could be accomplished with a simple GitHub pull request, or is this left up to the Fedora repo maintainers?
