I send a lot of one-off patches to packages. I like to file a bug and follow it up with a patch. Unfortunately, everybody doing things a different way makes it unpleasant to do that. (And yes, I know about README.source.) Right now, I just build the source package repeatedly until it works, unless the package doesn't build twice in a row, in which case I swear repeatedly and no patch is sent. If there's a standard workflow, it makes my life easier and results in a patch that works better for the maintainer. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
