We do not want to check out complete git trees. We only want to use stable released versions of source packages. These source packages sometimes need to be patched with some custom patches that we can store in our SCM database. > All my workflows are now based on git, and I'm making heavy use > of branching and rebasing all the day.

Every project inside the organisation can find another SCM tool that might suit their own projects workflow better, but it is corporate wide more efficient to standardise on tools and workflows. Git is a great tool but it has its drawbacks too, especially if it needs to be used as a centralised SCM tool. Ptxdist suits perfectly with our needs, and we are very happy using it. We have no plans to move over to another buildsystem, especially not to buildsystems that are not as mature, feature-rich, qualitatively and reliably as Ptxdist is ;-) Kind regards, Remy -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
