Hi All,
In it's current state, the source archiver creates a diff.gz file
containing everything found in 'S'. I am wondering if this was really the
intended behavior, as 'S' usually contains things like object and binary
files. If anything, I would expect that this file should represent all
changes made to the original sources.
Thanks,
Kevin

I was wondering about that too. It doesn't seem particularly useful today.
I'd think after do_patch would be best (and change recipes to do their
general source modifications before then, or via pre/postfuncs).
