It seems like this one would be problematic. Already dch -i doesn't always get it right for my particular use cases (e.g. sometimes I want a ~version). >> Packages are stored with packaging only and source in a tar file. >> This simplifies the problem compared to our UDD process of having full >> source branches in revision control.

Plus, as painful as it sometimes is, having the source right there after a branch operation is very nice. I just think we need to work out a better quilt integration story. I'm already usually able to muddle through, so I don't actually think UDD is very far from being easy and convenient even in the face of quilt patches. -Barry _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
