[gentoo-dev] CVS or normal package?

[Jonathan Fors]

Hello
I have begun hacking on the glsa-check script today, and I came up with 
serious improvements and hacks that seem useful.
However, before I send a patch, should I base my work on the source 
distfile or the CVS? The version of gentoolkit that I have currently 
improved upon is gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8.
Sorry if this question may seem ignorant, but this is the first time I 
am ever contributing to a project.

Regards,
    Jonathan

For the maintainer, it's easiest if you supply a patch against CVS, since that
results in the least amount of hassle when applying the patch.

Sometimes you have to take into account CVS branching, but we don't do that
for gentoolkit, so there's not a problem there.
