George,
We now have two methods for the cvs package directory.
A) tarball plus diff with a makefile
B) import original source and modify using cvs to create diffs
Should we allow developers to use the method they prefer for packages they
maintain? We can document both methods in the readme file in the package
tree. I believe this will allow package maintainers to work in a way that
they feel comfortable with without adding to much complexity to the tree.
