I may start doing so for at least some things, as it would make merging easier; /people/cjwatson/automount/ is there as a start (though that's more experimental than Ubuntu-specific). I'm not convinced about the sanity of doing template changes that way, though; we have some relatively clever tools for doing those merges at the moment and I'd lose a lot of time if I had to go back to 'svn merge'. (As I've said on debian-boot, I would rather just make translated templates not differ at all if possible.) I suspect that once we've got to the point where the Ubuntu-specific changes are on average more along the lines of handling different archive layouts than insanely voluminous translation changes, I'll feel less like I'm bloating the d-i repository up with stuff that doesn't benefit Debian by committing it there. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
