*g* + cheers!
From my running piuparts.d.o POV I don't care much why+what has changed in the
base system and if I'd really wanted to find out one day, I could use
snapshots.d.o - but I also don't care about disk space here. What I had in
mind was just not accumulating cruft. OTOH, as its reused every month its not
much cruft... I'll sleep over it and commit something tomorrow :)
Speaking of changesets, I'd like to move to git rather sooner than later - are
you familar with it?
cheers,
Holger
