Also making a directory listing of patches by maintainer would help a lot of Debian devs. (I saw something like this somewhere, sometime ago, but I can’t find it right now)

It will be really cool to have ubuntu spatial patch in uptream…

I use debian but can’t use spatial view as it make no sense for me to have one windows by opened directory…

The website is not meant to replace patches forwarding, it’s just an easy way to browse those, most of the changes are sent to bugzilla usually

regarding this, please have a look at http://hughsient.livejournal.com/46484.html

it is a post of the g-p-m maintainer who does not seem to be happy with the solution. It would be great if the upstream collaborating could be improved further (sending patches to upstream authors / MLs) as other distributions do it (and Ubuntu profits from it, but others do not really profit of Ubuntu’s changes). It does not really support the OSS ecosystem.

There’s a shorter path to access the current broken out patches for a particular package, e.g.:

http://patches.ubuntu.com/n/nautilus/extracted

The broken out patches for Debian/Ubuntu brings tears to my eyes. Has this existed before? I always got so angry having to read a gzipped diff of diffs to figure out what’s going on. Bravo.
