Why should 3.0 be any more difficult than 1.0 or anything that follows? (Not that I have any particular desire to use 3.0 or quilt myself.) 3.0 has to deal with incorporating patches and changes from the BTS, so +t1.diff.gz is no different. In Squeeze+1, the changes are restricted to debian/po or po/ for native Debian packages so there is no need to do anything with 3.0 until Squeeze+2. What matters is that the maintainer gets the +t1.diff.gz and applies it onto the source package prior to the next upload. It's no different to how the same maintainer would handle a patch or new translations file sent to the BTS. I'm quite sure various tools and scriptage will be devised to help with different workflow patterns before Squeeze+2. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
