Hi!
I always wondered why all the patches are context and not unified
diffs. Unified diffs are much more readable and easier to edit. I
always read the diffs before doing the make and I sometimes disagree
with some (configuration) settings and want to edit the patches.
It also would be a good idea to have an additional md5 file for the
_uncompressed_ original archive. I really *hate* compress (.Z) and I
always do a znew on these files but this leads into checksum mismatch.
I usually get the distfiles from my own public archive and it would be
nice to look for .tar.gz if EXTRACT_SUFX is .tar.Z and then check
something like files/tar.md5 instead of files/md5.
Bye,
Knarf
