I havent read it all - but I basically want to be able to build a
package, look what it has done, build it again, patch it, build it,
unpatch it, patch it with a better patch, build it ..... until I am
satisfied with the result.
Having to:
unpack
build
delete
unpack
patch
build
save patch outside build
delete
build
no. it is just too much hassle.
