Re: MergeOnUpstream and team policy




2007/7/18, Eddy Petrișor <eddy.petrisor@gmail.com>:
I would like to take on Joey's proposal with some restrictions:
- not all packages, I am sure that games like wormux will be huge
- I want to see this first in a branch; joeyh, feel free to make a people/joeyh branch and work in there

The main reason for this decision was space taken by the repo. This is still a big concern for me and I am sure for
others too.

What are the implications of accepting his proposal, and in which way must we redefine the way we're doing things right now? I think it  should be clear for everyone where this will lead us to before doing it. Does it mean we won't have to restrict our changes to debian/, quilt (or, exceptionally dpatch) is not mandatory anymore and we can switch back to old .diff.gz files and so on, or that we'll keep having all the stuff in debian/ as we do now, and the rest of files outside that directory would be unmodified from upstream?

Greetings,
Miry
