[07:41] <elbrus> LocutusOfBorg: I agree about the series applying after, but one needs to be reminded to keep them in sync
[07:42] <elbrus> i.e. a pathc can "not apply" after other patches in series or after new upstream
[07:42] <elbrus> and testing on Debian will only automatically catch inconsistencies in the Debian train...
[07:42] <elbrus> so I think a helper that notices these things would be great
[07:43]  * elbrus isn't going to make it
[08:10] <LocutusOfBorg> true
[09:09] <cjwatson> honestly I think debian/patches/<distro>.series has proven to be bad design in most cases.  better to construct patches that can have conditional behaviour, if necessary
[09:13] <JackFrost> Conceptually I like it, but since most patches that are only for Ubuntu don't get checked if they apply to new upstreams...It's a bit more unfortunate.  Mainly works only in cases where the maintainer is the same in Ubuntu as Debian (or stranger cases like libxfce4util that the patch only applies to Debian.)

[15:58] <jbicha> elbrus: btw, the add_X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain.patch should be harmless on Debian
