I used to, but I don't think there's a point anymore. I don't see any difference between treating the debian branch as a topic branch and merging it into build last, or just doing all of debian/* on master and merging upstream and topic branches into it. With mdadm, which is a thorough mess right now (since I am the only one tracking that repo I can afford to go wild), I am building maint/lenny and debian/experimental directly, while master still gets merged into build. I don't see a reason for that anymore. Now, with TopGit, and specifically the need to recreate ancient packages, well, see your other post... with TopGit right now, the build branch makes sense. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems EARTH smog | bricks AIR -- mud -- FIRE soda water | tequila WATER
