http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-xorg/lib/mesa.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/debian-experimental If you already have a normal mesa git tree, you can add the mesa packaging to it: git remote add debian git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/lib/mesa git fetch debian git checkout -b debian-experimental debian/debian-experimental After that just cherry pick the patches, either by git show COMMIT > debian/patches/foo.diff; echo foo.diff >> debian/patches/series, or by using git cherry-pick COMMIT if you are not trying to get the changes into the official debian packages. Be sure to also read http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/git-usage and the the linked pages there. ~Maarten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
