 Hi,

 On http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/scottish/by_maint/ you will find a
 directory for each maintainer with modified packages, inside directories
 for the kind of change (changelog_only, control_only, large), and then a
 directory for the change. This data is pulled from 
 http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/ but not yet automatically (I
 will automate this, but not sure if I will have time for that here).
 
 This is meant as a more convenient way for Debian maintainers to look
 for possible useful patches from Ubuntu.

This is a good idea, but it is based on completely outdated data: about
18 months for some packages. As such, it is just useless.

Considering that the patch index, as published by Ubuntu, a) is updated
daily, and b) has only existed for less than 12 months, I don't understand
what you are trying to say.

I'm talking about the Debian packages involved. For example, I have the
diff against solarwolf 1.4-1, while 1.5-1 was uploaded on 17 Feb 2004.
Or the diff against gtk-industrial-engine 0.2.36.4, which was updated
three times this year.

What you have is a 3-way merge of (1.4-1)-(1.4-1 + Ubuntu changes) against
1.5-1.

 Or the diff against gtk-industrial-engine 0.2.36.4, which was updated
 three times this year.

Same story.

 For this one you are right. There we go for Ubuntu's uptodateness.

Ah, you're right, it seems to be relative to the previous Ubuntu version,
not the current Debian version.  That might be easy for Scott to change; I'm
not sure.

Reformatted Ubuntu Patches Repository

2005-07-17 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

brought to you by the Utnubu team (that is me, still waiting for more
members, hint hint :-)), is the a newly formatted repository of Ubuntu
patches.

On http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/scottish/by_maint/ you will find a
directory for each maintainer with modified packages, inside directories
for the kind of change (changelog_only, control_only, large), and then a
directory for the change. This data is pulled from 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/ but not yet automatically (I
will automate this, but not sure if I will have time for that here).

This is meant as a more convenient way for Debian maintainers to look
for possible useful patches from Ubuntu.

Greetings,
Joachim Breitner
