It makes it easier for everyone who'll want to work on these patches (eg. people besides the actual ebuild maintainers). BTW: I'm not proposing to rework all the patches right now, just set a policy for new ones. Even you might not like to hear this, Debian is much better at this point - they a patchqueue per each package, which can be applied fully automatically (w/o additional code in the invididual package descriptors). This allows easy importing into other systems (like I'm doing w/ my normalized git repositories within the oss-qm project). cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
