Here's a paper describing it more in datail, from automated upstream imports down to also importing downstream/distro changes automatically. The latter works quite well for recent Debian packages (at least when following their own policies ;-o), as they tell quite exactly which patches have to be applied (and their order). For Gentoo it's more complicated, as I dont know a way to exact that information yet. http://www.metux.de/download/oss-qm/normalized_repository.pdf cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
