There are patches that simply cannot be backported. There are others that are hard to backport even for the upstream maintainers who are *deep* into the code. So demanding of a "packager" to "always be able to backport" is too strong. [I find it hard not to get as slightly ad-hominem as you got, Joey :-|] [...] Bye, J PS: I do agree that people should be able to understand the language their package is written in. But understanding it and backporting something is *very* different. - -- Jürgen A.
