--- Comment #14 from Kevin Fenzi <kevin at scrye.com> ---
Why aren't the minor modifications submitted upstream? 

The fedora packaging comittee would have to rule on it, it's possible they
would consider this a 'copylib', ie, a thing people are expected to just copy
into their source and modify.

I guess the next step would be approaching the fedora packaging list and asking
folks there what they think you can do. IMHO, in order from best outcome to
least: 

* Get clustal omega authors to submit their changes to squid and the squid
maintainer accepts them. Then you can unbundle squid and have this package use
that unbundled squid package. 

* Unbundle squid and apply the clustal omega changes to the unbundled squid.
Then, you have to manually balance those against changes in upstream and keep
squid working for all packages that use it in Fedora without breaking them. 

* Get squid upstream to state that this is a copy lib, and they expect other
people to copy and modify it and they don't want any of the clustal omega
changes. Get the FPC to accept this as a copylib. Then you can bundle it.
