My reason is that the quilt approach is what I know best. I guess we can also use a feature branch istead of each patch. These branches then are merged into debian branch. I am not yet convinced this is necessarily better than quilt -- how do you make sure you don't forget to merge some feature branch? What if there are conflicts? Another approach is TopGit, which I haven't tried yet. -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
