This all is part of a bigger strategy, we've already discussed here. See: http://www.metux.de/download/oss-qm-project-2010050101.pdf > Submit important patches separately or, better, The whole idea is getting rid of individual patches, instead use a modern VCS. If you don't like to take the METUX.* branches, I'll be lucky to open (and even maintain) separate GENTOO.* branches. > work with upstream so we'll get everything with next upstream release. Actually, I'm already doing so for quite some time now. But often cannot/doesnt want to apply hotfixes ad-hoc. That's what OSS-QM for: provide downstream branches for distros, embedded maintainers, etc. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
