Okay, my answer to that will be: that will introduce a plethora of problems including 1. sort order depends on user's locale 2. backup file names (~,.bak,$$$) need to be handled 3. version control file names (,v .git {arch}) need to be handled which will not work with the current model of dpatch, and will break some part of original functionality of dpatch. See cdbs 'simple-patchsys', is that what you have in mind? I think it's not addressing 1, and 2 and 3 are handled with hardcoding patch name extentions, which isn't really required in dpatch. (not that I really agree with current dpatch situation) regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
