yeah I think i am: it still covers the simple cases ('debian/master' instead of 'master') while already having codified the more complex situations. I dont know if this integrates easily with git-dpm though (from a very high level, it seems they have some incompatibilities in particular on how git-dpm keep tracks of the upstream source) -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi
