[pkg-boost-devel] coping with patches

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi,

How do you folks feel about using a tool to organize the
patches to boost?  

I just converted one of my other packages to "quilt" following these
instructions [1] and I'm very impressed with it.  I gather it is
similar to dpatch so if you're used to dpatch, you should be
comfortable also with quilt [2].

Any objections to moving patches out of the hairy mess that is the
diff file into a quilt series of patch sets?

-Steve
