I use cvs-buildpackage, but will probably move to something more like tla-buildpackage in the near future. Both of these tools use a revision control system to automate the process of updating to a new upstream release. If you are already using CVS or Arch, this is probably the way to go. If not, look at uupdate in devscripts. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
