Sean,

Cool - good to see lots of work happening on the plugins. Bit  
concerned about the huge list of bugs (!)

My angle is that, obviously, I would like bugfixes to come back  
upstream. Let me know if there is anything I can do to facilitate this.

I'm also interested in how you are marking differences between trees.  
For Altinity, there are some fixes that we need to apply, but  
anything that is generally useful I apply to the main SF tree at the  
same time. I store on our local CVS server the tar.gz distribution  
and then apply patch files in our custom Makefile. This way I know  
all the changes from our code to the released file. The idea is I can  
just replace the released file with a newer version, run a make and  
during the patch process it should tell me all the things that have  
already been fixed (or that I may need to amend a patch for).

I notice you are using an actual "exploded" CVS tree. Does your  
method work well when syncing trees?
