think the rest of the js team agrees with your judgement here. This
method makes is harder to update embedded dependencies and it
essentially become a fork. You can use the normal patching workflow
with quilt for modules embedded via pkg-js-tools (it is not even
specific to pkg-js-tools, it is supported by dpkg and used across the
archive).
Js Team,
Please comment your opinion here as we have a difference in embed
strategy here.
Just a clarification, there are two ways of embedding modules, 1, using
debian/watch component with debian/gbp.conf and 2, adding to
debian/build_modules or debian/test_modules
Only method 1 allows using quilt patching. I assume he was referring to
method 2. I was referring to method 1.
