Yes - if those changes are to files in debian/* then emdebian-tools will pick up those changes. If you mean patches to the upstream source, you should use whatever patch system is used by the package and implement a patch in debian/patches (or wherever else the package stores patches). Then make those patches available for others to view. There would need to be some form of checking before the patches would be included into the Emdebian package uploaded to our repository and wherever possible, patches should be in a state compatible with being fed upstream to Debian. The effects of the patch should be insulated from the normal Debian build by being wrapped inside automake conditionals, active only when cross-building, or other methods that do not change Debian behaviour, only cross-built behaviour. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
