Hi folks,


some while ago I've already talked a bit about the OSS-QM project
and it's source code repositories, which include upstreams together
with downstream's (distros, etc) changes.

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.

Hi Enrico,

I took the freedom to spread your "SPAM" to the Cygwin list. Hope that is OK.

I like the idea. I think you have to come with a proof a concept in
form of a base of packages to convince, complete enough to simply make
people like me start using it.

Well, I've already got automatic importers for a bunch of packages
and now in process of getting more in.
