+1. Saying that the plural 3.0 source formats allow Debian tools to consume multiple package source formats is equivalent to saying that upstream developers have no standard source format to rely on from Debian. It might allow interesting competition between the different source formats, but it doesn't improve the upstream's patch interface, because they still have to deal with a plural set of patch management styles. -- \ "As soon as I get through with you, you'll have a clear case | `\ for divorce and so will my wife." -- Groucho Marx | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
