Basically, we are developping in a fully separate way. The roots are the
same for old stuff; not the same most of the time for recent stuff (somes
are fully original, some taken from redhat, suse, caldera, conectiva..).
We resync with major stuff from redhat when it deals with incorporating
cool/important stuff that they've written, such as rpm, initscripts, gcc.
Most of the time, this is done shortly after new releases OR shortly
before stabilization of our next release.
