Preferably the automatic build system would pull source code from a VCS for its builds. Handling of "modules" that get supplied by developers in some way or the other is impossible to do in an automatic, clean and low maintenance way. Diffs can be automatically generated by the VCS. In the end, all packages that we are using for MiNT (or whatever flavour we are talking about) do come from somewhere upstream. And upstream there is always a VCS. So if we find that a package needs fixing, submit the patches upstream. The developers will be glad to accept them if they are submitted in a reasonbale form and be happy to include them into the code if the patches do not break the code on other platforms. Long story made short: we should not try to reinvent already existing infrastructure but make use of it. Cheers T.
