That's not "old-fashioned", because that's never been what 'apt-get source foo' is meant to do. "old-fashioned" (and, IMAO, "sensible") is for the above command to get the complete already-patched source, ready to build and/or examine as a Debian package. > I could browse the diff but haveing all patches collected (and > commented THERE) is in my eyes the easiest way to see what the > maintainer has done. "easiest" only if everyone uses exactly the patch-management scheme you're accustomed to. Currently, as JoeyH points out, the only one that's currently expected for Debian is a single diff against the orig.tar.gz. -- \ "Jealousy: The theory that some other fellow has just as little | `\ taste." -- Henry L.
