Does this mean that we would have the opportunity to take a standard Debian source package (imported into a vendor branch), do our own custom modifications to it, and cvs-upgrade would handle merging in the custom modifications with the upgraded Debian source? Or would that be separate step? I've never used cvs to track upstream sources, so I'm not clear on that. > Is there any interest in this?

It would be invaluable if it enabled site-specific patches to be carried over automatically when the package source is upgraded. Have you looked at cvsup? Cheers, - Jim
