I would still like to have a tangible release of gNewSense 4. But we
can start preparations for gNewSense 5. Our current way of updating
modified packages is too much manual work. It would be nice if we had
something like this:
- 1 bzr branch per modified package with Debian's debian folder
- automatic tracking of this code
- 1 bzr branch per modified package with gNewSense's debian folder,
initially branched from the Debian branch
- with each update of the Debian branch, merge changes to gNS branch
and build new packages
The merge step is the most challenging: the changelog will always
conflict, patches might. Ideas are welcome.
