That script will apply all the patches and create a deb out of it?

The release that I would like to patch are the 3.0.X releases from GCC,
currently I am testing with 3.0.3, but 3.0.4 is out already.

thanks, i will read up on that one.
I am hoping to be able to produce a proper DEB of a patch of the compiler that I am working on,
and would like to be able to keep it up to date and with testing of the work that you are doing.
Bye the way, I will be in Berlin next weekend, if you have the time for a coffee, we could meet.
Gruß,
Mike
