[Pkg-javascript-devel] can we use my fork of node-findit?

[Andrew Kelley]

I fixed all the bugs in node-findit and submitted the patch to upstream:
https://github.com/substack/node-findit/pull/34

But I am afraid that upstream will not accept my code and I do not have
time to wait. So I have forked findit to findit2 and started using that in
my modules, because it fixes bugs.

So now my question is, when packaging these modules, may I update
node-findit, keeping the same package name, but use my fork instead?

It keeps the same API and fixes all the findit bugs. Further, the only
packages that depend on findit so far are mine:

$ apt-cache rdepends  node-findit
node-findit
Reverse Depends:
  groovebasin

So far only groovebasin depends on node-findit. And this update happened
upstream in groovebasin:

groovebasin
  findit -> findit2
  connect-static
    findit -> findit2
  multiparty
    findit -> findit2

So that's 3 places that need the fork instead of the original, and 0 places
that need the original.

What should I do?
