That is, if you branch, make a change, do a build, see it worked, do a clean, then want to commit your change, you don't have config/sub diffs in your commit (or have to fix them by hand for each feature add). Also, if <state 0> -> build -> <state 1> -> clean -> <state 2> and state 0 != 2, there's the potential for "not the same two builds in a row", which afaik is a QA goal for lenny. But I haven't seen anyone actually do this in packages, so I'd love to hear people's opinions on the matter. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
