Hi all, In tried to summarise the current discussion in a wiki. The first draft is here: http://wiki.debian.org/debian/patches There are gaps in the table: I do not know about dbs and wig&pen for instance, so people are welcome to modify the page. Pierre, if your patches.tar.gz proposal is different from wig&pen, feel free to add it of course. I also like quilt a lot, but I am wondering if quilt is needed for the apply/deapply steps at build time. Maybe if somebody could provide a way that quilt use the strategy of simple-patchsys (apply everyghing that has a .diff or .patch suffix) instead of the series file, or the reverse, it would be a first step towards standardisation. (If simple-patchsys accepts patch with headers made by quilt).
