PeterL: remove your key from the keys dir, so nothing you publish would be allowed in
funkenstein_: wouldn't it only be allowed in if you put it in explicitly?
funkenstein_: i was under the impression that part of the advantage here was having extensibility, pick and choose capability of what patches to use
funkenstein_: might be worth noting that following mod6 v0.0.3: Creating, Naming, and Submitting a Vpatch will be doing the diff one dir up from the source

mod6: cp -pr bitcoin a && cp -pr bitcoin b
mod6: then make your changes in b
mod6: then
mod6: vdiff.sh a b > your_patch_name.vpatch
mod6: that should give exactly the basing that you need.
ascii_field: funkenstein_: i recommend dpasting your patch for review before signing formally
mod6: i guess i should note that you should run this step first: mkdir -p a b
mod6: then you copy in a "pressed" version or "branch" into a & b, make your changes in b, then vdiff, all should be happy.
funkenstein_: my mistake was that inside a & b were: COPYING and /src directory
funkenstein_: instead of a single directory "bitcoin" with that in it
mod6: yup, no prob -- glad you asked.
