Making a binary created from patched sources available is very bad IMO. Either this patch is for your personal convenience, then you should not make the binary available, or it is useful in general, then the patch should be included in the official version. I don't know if the README in the package talks about the patch and where to get it, but if it does not then you are even breaking the GPL. Georg
