Hello,
(Debian specific stuff inside)
First of all, I've reverted my changes to the Sarge directory.
I didn't want to mess with the CVS, so I've added a new revision to revert
the previous changes rather than removing the revisions with a cvs admin
command. The only drawback is that the RCS Id differs (this line is not
compiled).
A diff with an "apt-get source shadow" only shows this difference.
I've started playing with dpatch to create a dpatch for the lastlog usage
(attached. It is named 3xx because it is intended to be applied upstream,
but this is not done already)
... so here are some questions:
* This dpatch will depends on the 1xx patches, so I had to create a
00list file in debian/patches.
Should this 00list file be present in the CVS?
* The header of the dpatch generated by dpatch-edit-patch looks rather
different from the ones in the debian/patches directory. Does it
depend on a configuration variable (maybe a 00template file)?
* How to test once the dpatch is created?
(Here again, to dpatch apply-all, a 00list file seems to be needed)

Do we commit new patches (in the Sid branch)?
(I'm asking this because it will break the equivalence with
4.0.4-31sarge2).
I would anyway rather like a review for my first dpatches.

I think you mean splitting 0xx patches to logical sub-patches.
Do you recommend a way of using dpatch tools for splitting the 0xx
patches?
Here is how I intent to do this:
* De-aply the 0xx patch (only one, all, some)
* create a new dpatch and pick some of the changes
(* update the 0xx patch(es) involved in this logical sub-patch)
Another points non related to dpatch:
The debian changelog seems to contain lines starting by a tabulation.
My beloved vim seems to choke on these lines (colored in red).
Maybe these tabulations should be expanded.
Would you like to have CVS commits notifications?
BTW, thanks for permitting to test dpatch. It's really nice!
(subliminal note: quilt is still on my "to be tested" list)
