Well I'm more looking into giving upstream the possibility to pick what |
| 16 |
we've done by a single git cherry-pick or merge. format-patch works |
| 17 |
well, it's what I'm using to keep patches in sync with upstream changes |
| 18 |
but what I'm really looking for is a way to say to upstream "look, |
| 19 |
that's where patches for your project are hold in gentoo land, come and |
| 20 |
pick everything you think is worth it" (sure I can point to |
| 21 |
sources.gentoo.org but that's not what I'm looking for). |
