Add a new optional field Patch-MD5. If this field is present then refuse to use the .patch unless its md5sum matches. If the field isn't present then always use the provided .patch. This wouldn't help you match the .patch file to the .info file, but it would prevent problems like the one you

not only a wait to combine them, but the seperate them too for when maintainers are making the next release. Sure. That's what I meant about needing tools. If we had a little tool for developers to use to bundle the .info and .patch file into a text archive (maybe with the shar format), and

Sounds good to me. My primary concern was the mismatch. Being able to easily find the correct .patch for a given .info (and handle multiple concurrent versions) would be nice, but by the time I'm messing around with multple versions I could just md5 until I find the right one at a time. dan
