Ok, mostly it is the patch name, altough i could have done that with a bit smarter script, and the attributor of the patch. They are in the second line. Usually, the comment should be moved to the ##DP: lines, but this should be ok like it is. > > Also, we will loose the ability to have the different debian patches, > > and be able to build against those.

Nope, there was 2.6.6 for upstream, 2.6.6-1 for the debian patch -1, and 2.6.6-2 for the debian patch -2, this was in order for third party folk to be able to build agains different versions of the kernel package. On the plus side, dpatch is able to have a per arch patch list, but this is not really usefull for us in the current implementation. Friendly, Sven Luther
