With a system like dpatch when one downloads the source package it includes any modifications made to upstream as a series of logically separate patches, hopefully helping to document what the purpose of each individual modification is or at least providing information on which sets of changes go together. This information makes it much easier to understand what has been modified for the package and why. This is especially useful where you're trying to do something like figure out behaviour which diverges from upstream. Similar information should be provided by a revision control system but normally only with the repository. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
