I wouldn't touch the upstream version unless you're really taking over upstream maintenance... is your upstream dead ? Including the patch in the debian diff is quite common nowadays. You can always use a build system that applies patches at build time rather than patching by hand before generating the .deb ... those system let you quickly add/remove patches. You can check for example how I did it in libdbdpg-perl (I borrowed it from someone else). > Also, should I plan this bing uploaded to unstable or experimental? It depends... I'd wait a few fays until sarge is released and then upload it to unstable. (Uploading right now probably wouldn't hurt since it's not a library but ... if you discover a RC bug for sarge, then you're forced to use t-p-u) Regards, -- Raphaël Hertzog -+- http://www.ouaza.com Formation Linux et logiciel libre : http://www.logidee.com Earn money with free software: http://www.geniustrader.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
