[PD-dev] "tracking third-party sources" in cvs

This sound cool, without having read this.

I'd like to announce another idea I had tonight while out clubbing
(forgive me, if it doesn't make sense because of this...)

I wonder, if an "installer" branch would make sense. In this branch,
the package maintainers could make changes that ease packaging, like
for example unifying variables in Makefiles and so on. Later this
could be merged to upstream. 

Good idea?

ciao
