gbp-pq import/export only updates "Date" field and diff, it doesn't change the other fields you may add... The only thing that change in the patch name is the prefix number when you drop a patch, but IMHO it's not a problem. We are using gbp-pq to manage patches for libvirt related packages for example and we always try to follow DEP-3 for new patches. -- Laurent Léonard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
