I can see that commiting to upstream VCS can be problematic if one does have a working enough relationship with your upstream to have commit access _and_ upstream uses a non-distributed VCS. Sadly this is a case quite often currently, but storing only packaging information in a separate SCM is workaround, not a solution for the abovementioned social and technical problems. The debian/ directory and the upstream sources are not really disconnected. especially if you look at it from the downstream distro (ubuntu, xandros, ... ) POV. -- "rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
