I normally use svn-buildpackage in mergeWithUpstream mode and prefer to not put the complete source under VCS and instead put it into the build-directory. dpatch can easily handle this design and I can create and edit patches from my VCS, even if it does not contain the ?MB source of the package. > Yes. > > And to answer the original question, sure, quilt can handle it; as well as > any patch management system can handle the fact that the things you're > applying the patches against are external to the VCS and require rain dances > of one sort or another to facilitate patch editing. http://www.wgdd.de/?p=25 is some sort of "rain dance"? Oh well, are you kidding me? All I want to know is, if quilt can do the same. Then I will give it a try. If it cannot handle this design, well then it's not an alternative for me. Why should I mirror the upstream VCS and blow up svn.d.o or my own VCS servers? Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
