which is what is installed on my box.

Hit the branch button on OBS

Or the working next version:

@oxwrongagain I would probably copypac unless your going to submit?

osc maintained nautilus
SUSE:SLE-15-SP4:Update/nautilus
SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA/nautilus

osc copypac SUSE:SLE-15-SP6:GA nautilus <your_project>

You could:
download the src.rpm, unzip it, make your changes and rebuild it with rpmbuild --rebuild

or

Branch it in the OBS to your own project and make ther your changes.

Thanks @malcolmlewis ,

This one is strictly for personal use. It contains hacks you probably wouldn’t want :slight_smile:

But I do have two bug fixes to VERY OLD problems that I want to submit. I actually got them into obs, but realized it would be smarter to separate them into separate requests as one might be considered “controversial” in that it fixes something that gnome does not want to fix.

@oxwrongagain if your wanting to do maintenance update, then use mbranch to get them both and update…

See openSUSE:Package maintenance - openSUSE Wiki

I just did one today for Iodine…
