Uhm... thanks for reporting this, now it is documented properly. In fact, I stumbled over a similar problem yesterday when trying to apply a modification to a package in mergeWithUpstream mode, which just didn't work. That are not such rare corner cases... this feature did work, even post-adding of files in mwu mode so I was surprised as well. Unfortunately I don't have time to investigate it more right now (not in the next 1-2 days) Originally s-b was developed for having the full upstream source in the repository and a Debian version (having modifications, new/modified files), and just keeping the tarballs somewhere for "legacy reasons". Somewhere it became too inefficient, mwu mode was born, but the old features should have work. One thing that does not work well is tracking of changes in the upstream files and applying the upstream modifications to your Debian variant of that file. svn does not do that for you because the files are not registered anywhere. And the one thing that is still not solved then is the lack of comfort. I am not sure yet how to do it, everything sucks. In the meantime, I recommend using a patch system like dpatch. That is what most packages do in this case, anyways. Regards, Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
