I'm moving from nslug to oe .dev branch and I'm trying to ramp up on all
the bitbake and configuration details.  While bringing up a build of
slugos-image I had to debug an issue with udev-100.

udev-100 would fail on the comple because of a link time issue relating
to extras/volume_id.  I hacked a quick fix into packages/udev/udev_100.bb, where I changed

UDEV_EXTRAS = "extras/firmware/ extras/scsi_id/ extras/volume_id/ extras/run_directory/"
to
UDEV_EXTRAS = "extras/firmware/ extras/scsi_id/ extras/run_directory/"

This is good for my build, but my questions are now
1) is this the right way to fix this?
and if so then 
2) how do I share this fix back to the OE community?

Thanks for any advice.

On 2: we encourage people to attach patches to bugzilla (http://bugs.openembedded.org)
because mailed patches tend to get lost or forgotten after a while.
