No problem. I think we all experience the emotions you expressed from time to time. The GPL can be a cruel lover! The situation is that Debian is a technically excellent and flexibility which is great for customizing. A couple of months ago your packaging systems was pretty new.... and confusing. Yesterday I was able to build test packages for GnewSense and Ubuntu.

Downstream projects will require minor modification of your /Debian dir to accommodate different policies, build tools, and distro dependency versions, .... I am wondering, since we are creating fresh downstream package with a new build-tool, how can we create a useful work flow for both upstream and downstream. With down streams using git-buildpackage and cdbs, it seems pretty straight forward to ensure that useful patches make it back to git.debian.org. david > Also, I still recommend limiting cross-posts to initial announcements and > doing follow-ups only at a single list: Invite broadly but have the actual > conversation in a single "meeting room" rather than shouting all out from > the hill tops.
