No patch serties out of DVCS?No patch serties out of DVCS?Posted May 23, 2008 1:56 UTC (Fri) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458)In reply to: Debian contemplates patch management by mbanck Parent article: Debian contemplates patch management
Sorry, but all distributed version control systems (DVCS) I know allow you to extract a clean patch series more or less painlessly. If the user doesn't do so, well, you know who is to blame...

No patch serties out of DVCS? Posted May 23, 2008 13:27 UTC (Fri) by mbanck (subscriber, #9035) [Link] Sorry, but all distributed version control systems (DVCS) I know allow you to extract a clean patch series more or less painlessly.One of the popular workflows seems to be keeping seperate patches in different (mutually conflicting) feature branches and then resolving those conflicts in an integration branch, which leads to a source package. I don't know whether dropping a working and useful patch series is feasable somewhere in the workflow, as I do not use DVCSs to maintain my packages myself. Michael
