BingoBoingo: Well there's a very crowded space full of people who aren't anonymous at all, because they are more interested in making fiat

☟︎ punkman: (I thought of dynamically merging the patches and applying both in a single step, but it gets weird if there are further patches depending on those two, so I filed it under "probably stupid ideas")
mod6: so here's what we'd look like after we add all of the new makefile+configuration files+directories via the 'test-layout.vpatch' & a 'test-v054-REL-wLayout.vpatch' to tie it all together:
mod6: the main problem here is going to be tagging the MANIFEST file, like i did in the 'test-v054-REL-wLayout.vpatch' -- because it'll be a clearsigned file. no way to 'tag' a file like that.
mod6: But I don't need to tag every file in the 'test-layout.vpatch' to tie it in, just one file will suffice.
mod6: I put all of this in here as I think that this way forward with the new layout generated from vpatches could work.
punkman: I still don't get why the version tagging is needed
mod6: ok -- so in this scenario (before the introduction of 'test-v054-REL-wLayout.vpatch') the 'test-layout.vpatch' is a disconnected node - its own root/leaf if you like
mod6: the idea of the release vpatch is to tie all of the leafs together to a single node.
