IMHO: * the current situation is unsustainable * the best option would be for saga developers to adopt a more standard approach, e.g. avoid mixing up bugfixes (in point releases) and changes in the parameters (only in major releases), and keep backward compatibility for previous parameters in all life cycle of minor releases * if this is not feasible, the approach by Johan (maintaining a saga LTR) seems the best one, as it is a general solution, provided it is also followed by an appropriate versioning and dependency management for packages * bundling is an option mainly on windows; not generally feasible on most Linux distros * forking and embedding involves significant maintenance costs; I'm unsure it would be acceptable for more rigorous packagers, and it should be kept as a really last resort * another beautiful option would be a complete merge between the two projects, unifying the code base, but probably I'm dreaming here :) All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html
