Re: dpatch, "diff -u" and "very big projects"
Hi all,
http://wiki.debian.org/debian/patches is world-writeable, and attempts
to summarize what was said in this thread and in the Policy discussions
about 'README.source'. Do not hesitate to edit it !

Well, it is exactly what I meant by "No": if somebody sends a patch made
by {{{diff -u}}} it can not be used by dpatch without processing. I
replaced "No" by "Header needs to be added", but feel free to change it.

Well, it was said in the thread that for very big projects the patch
systems are not convenient, but if it is not consensual it is better to
remove this from the summary, unless it is really an issue for Debian.
Have a nice Sunday,
