Re: [GNUpdate-Devel] Preperation for libgnurdf v0.2.1 (long respo nse)
My two cents...
If the Debian developer has CVS access, then it's reasonable to
include it in CVS. He'll need to (at the very least) edit
debian/changelog just prior to the making of a new release, such
that the package is generated with the correct version number.
The advantage is that any user who downloads it from CVS can
easily make a Debian package out of it.
It's still sensible to NOT make it a Debian native package. If
everything goes right, the package have an empty .diff file which
results in a very small (but not nil) .diff.gz file. Should the
Debian developer need to fix a simple bug (or back-port a
security fix to the stable release), the diff file can then be
non-nil.
