Why don't you contact upstream for that? It is not that sane to add such patch without letting upstream knows about them and dpkg? really? Sorry, i don't know about upstream and thought i can add feature requests here like I use to add bugs here. The dkpg stuff had noting to do with my original intend but while searching for aboud this patch, I found the changelog: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-arch/dpkg (In reply to comment #2) > Sorry, i don't know about upstream and thought i can add feature requests here > like I use to add bugs here. > The dkpg stuff had noting to do with my original intend but while searching for > aboud this patch, I found the changelog: > http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-arch/dpkg > Yeah but it is not sane to apply patches and features without letting upstream know about them. Anyway. Better discuss this with the maintainer even though I am pretty sure they will point you to upstream too I ran into this issue trying to use dpkg too. Until upstream adds the --rsyncable option, I suggest patching dpkg to not use the option instead of patching gzip to implement the option. See bug #420813 . There are recent upstream thoughts on the subject: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2013-06/msg00022.html Basic suggestion is to use pigz. What about patching conditionally depending on the USE flag? the next release (1.7) will have support merged upstream, so we'll just wait for that |
