[gentoo-dev] patcher

[Pete Gavin]

Hi,

I was wondering, wouldn't it be better to keep patches that are
gzipped in the distfiles directory, since cvs doesn't really work well
w/ binary files? I mean, I figure the only patches that should even be
managed by cvs are ones we create ourselves, and under normal
circumstances, those wouldn't be terribly large, so they could go w/o
being gzipped. And since most people update their portage tree using
rsync -z, they would be compressed before being sent over the network,
so that shouldn't cost too much extra bandwidth.
