+<PRE>Le samedi 15 janvier 2011 &#224; 11:08 +0100, Remy CLOUARD a &#233;crit :
+
+&gt;<i> Patches must be named in a very explicit manner to make it very clear to
+</I>&gt;<i> what version it was originally applied. To that end, a patch needs to
+</I>&gt;<i> follow the convention of
+</I>&gt;<i> [package_name]-[version]-[description].patch:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> * [package_name] is the name of the package it applies against, such
+</I>&gt;<i> as 'shadow-utils' or 'gnupg'
+</I>&gt;<i> * [version] is the version of the program this patch was developed
+</I>&gt;<i> against, such as 1.0. The name of the patch should not change, even
+</I>&gt;<i> when it is rediffed, because the version allow to see in a blink since
+</I>&gt;<i> when this patch has been there. If you happen to see a patch that does
+</I>&gt;<i> not apply anymore, and rediff it, ask the package maintainer if it has
+</I>&gt;<i> been sent upstream, and why it hasn&#8217;t been merged, and send it
+</I>&gt;<i> upstream if you think it should be merged.
+</I>&gt;<i> * [description] is a short description of the patch's purpose.
+</I>
+I would rather use comments for that :
+
+1) saying the patch was sent upstream, with url , or date of sending the
+mail ( possibily who )
+
+2) if not sent upstream, say clearly &quot;not upstreamable because foo&quot;
+
+3) if coming from upstream, link to the commit upstream
+
+And for people who want to sent upstream patch, iptutils is full of
+patch to comment ( and so are lots of packages ).
