Hi Mattia, I am not a big fan of the 3.0 (quilt) format because it imposes a patch system. In particular, this format does not make much sense when managing the source package with Git. This said, adding “single-debian-patch” in debian/source/options makes the 3.0 (quilt) format emulate the 1.0 format quite well, while keeping the benefits of the 3.0 format family, in particular having the debian directory in a separate tarball, and supporing xz compression for the original upstream tarball. So on my side, if the single-debian-patch workaround is widely accepted (in debian/source/options, not debian/source/local-options), then I would not mind the 1.0 format to go away. This said, even the 3.0 (quilt) format is starting to show its age. We need to be ready for the post-tarball era… Cheers, -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
