Well, we have so many policies about tracking patches... If we allow people to simply change the content of the tarball (without version change) instead of doing real patch, it's pointless to track patches as we have no idea whether the tarball is upstream one or how many bundled patches it contains. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
