i tend to disagree. the BTS is for bugs, should they have patches or not. patches are some difference in how different people do things and are not necessarily a bug, nor is every patch wanted for debian. but it would be cool if the maintainer was aware of the patches flying around, so she can look through them for applicable ones and inspiration. so IMHO the PTS is the right place for it, but it should not be ubuntu-specific. for example a directory with files that contain lines like <package> <patch url> and that is parsed by the PTS would allow for different scripts that collect patches and write them into this file. one of these script could then just get the ubuntu info, and later we might add more sources. cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
