The benefit is small if you (or your group, in any case) are the only person working on the package - but as soon as somebody else tries to make sense of your patches -possibly by running dpkg-source -x over its dsc- it all becomes unclear. Having named, independent patches _is_ much clearer for the adopter, the NMUer and similar cases. -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
