I think a full implementation of a 3.0 (git) format that uses bundles would include support in dpkg-source, so that when you unpack a 3.0 (git) package (such as with apt-get source), dpkg-source would take care of setting up the Git repository from the bundle for you. This is similar to how dpkg-source handles applying patches in 3.0 (quilt) packages. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
