Bugs hit me on openSUSE. Maintainers can provide me patches, I can build packages from them, but until the Maintenance Update is released, quite some time can elapse. I want to have all temporary fix packages built and used by myself in one place.

I'm able to set arbitrary release numbers (usually suffix ".0.FIX.${BUGID}"). I have "ReleasePrg: get_release_number.sh" in the "Project Config". I only enable the publish flag after I'm done with developing a temporary fix. Then I disable it again. I get fixes from my repository with "zypper dup --allow-vendor-change -r fixes". This way the vendor changes to my home project and my fix packages are installed. :-)
