However, once I was introduced to quilt (the group's preferred way of patching packages), I realized that having the upstream source in svn made it very easy work with quilt.

To each his own, I guess, but the group's way of doing things is starting to rub off on me. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
