this is the debian patches pack :-)
At first I thought that the debian/ folder was something to support
the automated builds created by Martin, but now it appears that your
patches are doing what debian would do in their distro, and nobody
but debian should worry about that.
Martin, what's your take on this? What's exactly the plan here?
Hi Carlos,
I am not Martin, but IMHO, the debian folder should continue in the git
tree. Reasons:
1. There are some users who uses debian in the mail list.
1a. For us is very interesting do "git pull && dpkg-buildpackage -us
-uc -tc && sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb" because our debian system is clean.
1b. We can test the changes in the git early, before a release. If the
debian folder is out, we cannot do it.
1c. In the future, the debian and the upstream will be very similar
(paths, ...).
1d. We can help to make patches for the upstream version
1e. We can work together, not with different patches in different
places/users.
2. When the debian folder will be finished, you don't have more work.
Is only one folder more.
3. There are many potential users in debian and ubuntu distros.
3a. They can test WindowMaker in / not in /usr/local [or make their
systems dirty].
3b. The users in Ubuntu/Debian are testers for the upstream version.
4. WindowMaker.org/info can have automated builds with the git release
for testing.
Best.
