Hi Mike,

could we get an option to reset the package back to post-extract

From where? patch, configure or build?
it should be fairly easy although, I am not sure how to deal with the
patches... I think they make a backup of the original.
will do some more research on how the patches are done and how to
revert them,
unless you have it figured out. ;-)
The patching-thing is not solved well currently in GAR. I am thinking
of something like
gmake preparepatch
which unpacks the sources multiple times like
work/pristine-<mod> Pristine, unpatched sources
work/patched-<mod> Patched sources
work/build-<mod> Patches sources that will be worked on
pristine-* will just be unpacked and always stay that way. As maintainer
you than start editing files in patched-*. gmake makepatch generates
a patch from the diffs between pristine-* and patched-*. After including
the patch in PATCHFILES you can do
gmake repreparepatch
and pristine-* will contain the sources with the patches from PATCHFILES
applied and patched-* a copy from that to generate more patches.
Feel free to enhance this draft.
Best regards
-- Dagp
