This is about a change to the alpine package in the Fedora Linux distro.

| Ah, then it is that the distribution changed criteria. First they published
| with the patch, then without.

| Maybe D. Hugh can report a bug.

The Fedora package switched their upstream.  See 
 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2187297>

It used to be
 
<http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/patches/alpine-%{version}/alpine-%{version}.tar.xz>
but that disappeared so they switched to 
 <https://alpineapp.email/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.26.tar.xz>

The former one contained Eduardo Chappa's patches and the new one does 
not.

If they use
 <https://alpineapp.email/alpine/patches/alpine-2.25/alpine-2.25.tar.xz>
They would get a patched version.

Which should be used?  Is there a reason not to use the patched version?

- the patched version is 2.25 whereas the unpatched version is 2.26

+ the source is the same repo and thus likely as trustworthy
