Correct. > Surely then if someone does an NMU based on the source package the > "single debian patch"ness will be lost ? Correct, and that's partly the point. It means that the maintainer changes are collected into one patch, but NMU patches are kept separate from that one patch. (So I guess I misspoke -- it's not exactly like the 1.0 format patch situation. It's like that for the maintainer, but maintains separate NMU patches.) -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
