Yes, for SVN that is true, but I am writing a plugin for a distributed system, so it can be made to work, just like you can access the untouched upstream file that Debian has patched in such a system. I haven't decided how I think it should work with multiple tarballs yet though. Thanks, James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
