As a side-note: anyone who decides to take maintanance for some patchlet, please drop me a short note, so I can keep a list of unmaintained patches. > Also, I assume that there is a lot that can be done to improve that > patchlet-handling script, i.e. add suport for GPG signature checking and > the like. I suggest you coordinate with Patrick on this. Definitely. The code is very basic, it only makes sure a patchlet 1) doesn't overwrite anything outside of its patchlet directory 2) can only overwrite "Repository: external" patchlets But doensn't do any signature verification. I'll add it today, patches are welcome.
