Like you, I only package for openSUSE and only package for released
versions with a tarball:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/security:forensics/sleuthkit

If the tsk fixes are important enough I can (and do) add patches to
the build.  You can see that I'm carrying a very simple one of those
now.

I assume the Slack build scripts support that as well.

Can someone summarize any patches that should be picked up by the distro's?

Thanks
