Some people have argued on debian-devel that the correct way to use a patch system is to apply all the patches in the clean target rather than in the build target so that the source package is shipped with all the patches applied. The rationale is that this allows someone preparing an NMU to just ignore the patch system (at the cost of desynchronizing the changes from the patch system for the maintainer). I don't know if we want to allow for that or not. I find the logic dubious, but dpatch supports that mode of operation. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
