echo skip-patches >>debian/source/options And then in a pre-build target, do the scripting magic, and call dh $@ --with quilt or something similar, and in clean, do the reverse. It needs minimal work, but it's - in my opinion - trivial nevertheless. Less trivial than turning a 00list into series and living happily ever after, but still trivial. > - Conditional application of patches.

I see this as a 3.0 (quilt) feature, though. But perhaps just my opinion. > - Patches that don't unapply cleanly after build can be dealt with via > 'rm -rf' with a custom patch system, but must be made to unapply cleanly > with v3 (quilt). This too, is a v3 (quilt) feature, as far as I'm concerned. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
