## Contributing Upstream
We generally no longer accept distribution-specific patches to
systemd upstream. If you have to make changes to systemd's source code
to make it work on your distribution, unless your code is generic
enough to be generally useful, we are unlikely to merge it. Please
always consider adopting the upstream defaults. If that is not
possible, please maintain the relevant patches downstream.
