Applying the diffs to your current pfsense install would work, can use the system patches package for that.
Just copying modified files to the pfsense box works as well.
Or setting up a local repository to install the changed package from is another option.. (preferred if you going to change installation/uninstallation functions.., though a little tricky to get going..)

For getting changes commited just sending a github pullrequest is usually enough.. (you do need to agree to the ICLA agreement before changes will get pulled) If your changes aren't pulled adding a corresponding redmine ticked sometimes helps.

Other than that, it just takes some time to get requests pulled, sometimes it takes only hours, other times it takes a week or longer..

p.s.
The [email protected] might be a better place for dev related questions.. Though it is a bit quiet..

I need to test some of the recent fixes to the OpenBGPd package.
Other than manually applying the diff(s) to the currently-installed files, how would I go about generating the package and installing it on my system? Also, what's the process for submitting changes to packages? Just do a pull request on the github project?
