At this point, I've converted most of my packages to use Git, which means that the source package as uploaded to Debian has one collapsed patch including upstream changes and you have to check out the Git repository to see the separate branches and how they relate to upstream. At some point, I'm hoping to be able to generate format 3.0 packages from Git in some way that exposes the way that I'm actually working to other people working on packages. In the meantime, you can still look at the openafs package, which is currently using quilt and applies a whole bunch of patches (although we may switch to Git at some point down the road). -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
