In an ideal world of mine, for any package I maintain I would have all interesting repositories linked to: upstream, Debian packaging, popular distribution X, Y, Z packaging etc. This way I could easily track the software life outside of upstream->Debian pipe so I could improve "Debian" side by possibly rapidly reacting to bugs/fixes introduced elsewhere and haven't reached upstream yet, but already included in X, Y, Z. So, altogether, the idea of having more than Debian + upstream VCS fields is sound to me. Approach/Implementation is being discussed elsewhere in this thread. -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
