I am a CDBS maintainer myself (altough I have been quiet on that front for quite some time). And my snippets are all tracked in a quiet corner of the CDBS Subversion repository :-) I briefly describe my reasoning for maintaining the snippets off of the main CDBS in the README.cdbs-tweaks file in the source of my packages. I just never found the time or interest to convince the others about the usefulness of the snippets, or to document them. If I recall correctly the latter was the cause of the snippets getting rejected when I attempted to add them a long time ago. I consider creating a "cdbs-hacks" package, initially with my snippets but also inviting other snippets without requiring documentation or consensus as is needed with CDBS proper. What do you think of that? - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFH1PcKn7DbMsAkQLgRAjKXAJoCYCS5BXb1tOA9LsWLwbOa8CAx+QCgg4W3 GqbDTyItzs1BqKQwKSUdzgg= =Ktq6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
