In this particular case it would not really be better. I placed the new files in a separate directory in the source tree, so it is not really a problem. ( Perhaps I should have explained that the upstream Jython reuse most of the Python standard library modules by including them at compile time. The Debian Jython does not include them at compile time but depended on the python2.1 module to provide them at runtime. So now that python2.1 has been removed from Debian, we have to find another way.) So, I'm more concerned about the fact that the resulting diff file is big (it would not be smaller with quilt, dpatch or cdbs) and, more important, by the fact that this diff file would then include most of the Python standard library modules. I wonder if it is a reasonable way to include such a major piece of software. Another solution would be, perhaps, to create a package that would include just these modules (e.g. python2.1-modules) and on which jython would depend. -- Nicolas Duboc <nduboc@debian.org>
