That Ubuntus merge-o-matic (which iirc is being deprecated - can some ubuntu person confirm?) generates lots of the metadata that would be useful there, including the data that is imported for ubuntus entry on the pts. I looked at customising it for gNewSense, but its hugely ubuntu specific at the moment, so i moved on to other areas and haven't got back to it. > could probably come as a release of the source code of > patch-tracker.d.o, after having made it independent of Debian (I > haven't checked with Sean how much it is so, but is likely to have > Debian-specific assumptions). It seems to be pretty (very) generic, I'm about to try and set up an instance of it now for testing. Unforunately it shows all patches, so picking debian patches vs downstream will be tricky. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
