Re: Intent to package mergemem + Need some help
Hi,
Wonderful. I find it neat that you are using the patch process.

Umm, this maybe going a little too far. I wuld suggest just
letting the installer know about this, but letting the human edit the
files as needed. You see, directly modifying a conffile that belongs
to another package violates policy.
Chris> Should this last step default to yes?
I don't think so.

Yes, it is, and it is developers like you who are instrumental
in its development. Please let me know if the procedure needs to be
tweaked, or is make-kpkg can help your package in any way.
